[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 7 points 7 months ago (3 children) Next gen gif should add another sequence of letters that can be argued about how it should be pronounced. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works [S] 7 points 7 months ago (1 child) It's pronounced "arjued" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bastion@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago Its pronounced "aggitate." permalink fedilink source parent [–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago See, that's why I'm saying it's gotta be "Chunky Gif." .cyg. Is the C a /s/ or a /k/? Or is it /tʃ/, like in "cello," to match with "chunky?" Is the Y an /ɪ/, an /aɪ/, or an /i/? Is the G a /dʒ/ or a /ɡ/? Does the fact that it's a pun on the peanut butter brand legitimize the /dʒ/ pronunciation, or does linguistic precedent show it's obviously pronounced /sɪɡ/ like cygnus? The truth?The C is silent, like in "indict." The Y is a schwa, like in "pyjamas." And the G is pronounced /ɣ/, like the proper Dutch pronunciation of "van Gogh." The filetype is thus pronounced, approximately, "Uchgh" - Which you may recognize better as the sound you make when you get chunky JIF peanut butter stuck in the back of your throat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago .xif permalink fedilink source parent
