Breadallelogram posted:the g in gif stands for graphics so should we pronounce 'scuba' as 'scub-ah' too? acronyms don't have to share the hard and soft letters of their origins

you can disregard the g standing for the hard g in graphics if you were an educated speaker of fluent english, and you had never heard of the gif file format, the first time you saw the word, you would say ghiff - hard g
