The debate over the pronunciation of .GIF has raged on pretty much since the file format was developed back in 1987. Is the g soft as in giraffe, or hard as in graphics? I’m not sure it’ll ever be settled , especially given the range of responses in the comments on ‘The GIF Pronunciation Page‘ by Steve Olsen.
But what would happen if we started to run loose with the pronunciation of other file extensions?
There are plenty of file extensions from which to pick. There must be loads of pronunciation changes we could consider, right?
I wonder what Siri thinks …. ?
