i used to work with a nerd who could only say "libary". no matter how many times i corrected him, he was set in his ways

I�ve encountered a bunch of people who would say �ashfault� instead of �asphalt� and it always drove me up the wall.

you cannot just make up a computer word then pick a non phonetic pronunciation

its the most gatekeeping gotcha, haha you mispronounced a word because because you didn't know it was a dumb pun about the marketing slogan from a particular american brand of peanut butter that happened to have the same last 2 letters as the acronym for Graphics Interchange Format

afaik it wasn't intended for any kind of pun, the lead dev just thought jif is easier to say. And also he's right, it is easier to say (so therefore better)

also, you can definitely make up a computer word and pick non-phonetic pronunciations, people do it all the time. Gnu is a perfect example
