    The only word that starts with gif is "gift". It is the best word to set a precedent for how to pronounce "GIF". :-D

      If Gif can be pronounced as JIF then i can call my colig JAY as GAY? what say?

      I'd say that if you mispronounce either, you should expect a smack in the mouth. Going by the voting, it appears that people don't like being told that they're behaving like cliquey idiots. Well, the day I need the comradeship of people who are only half a step up from marketing cretins is the day I'll hang up my mouse.

        GIF: Giraffe SQL: Squirrel Of course I have to be a little careful about where I use my regular terms, as some might thing I'm a little strange. Like if they caught me saying that I'd put some giraffes in my squirrel database.

        That's nice, then PostgreSQL will be post gray squirrel, mysql will be my squirrel. You'll have to be even more careful with this, or it will get you certified even faster Client: So what should I use to store our client data? SK Genius: Oh, you can use my squirrel Client: :omg: :wtf:

              You might want to check with the inventor of the png format. :)

              The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

                  We need an .sql file to run a query to retrieve all the different graphics file extensions, and a .garbage file to output the result.

                    GIF - is it pronounced giff (with hard g) or jiff?

                    1. giff
                    2. jiff
                    3. never thought of it
                    4. whatever the other party says / is comfortable with
                    5. who gives a spit

                    Same with an S-Q-L server or a Sequel server <edit> Forgot to ask - when you write it as SQL, do you use a SQL ... or an SQL ...? (thinking of how it is pronounced) Looks like opinions are rather divided at this point... </edit> (I already saw the discussion on the other site*, don't care much for their opinion)

                    I used to say as "jiff" and "sequel".

                      I think I sometimes use 'a'. Example: I took a look at a SQL script the other day that was pretty fascinating. But usually I use neither 'a' or 'an'. Example: When working with SQL, I sometimes lose my cool.
