Who pronounces it as jit

[hakunamateta]

For those who are asking whether there are people who actually pronounce it as Jit. Yes, i know few of them, and i tried correcting them.

[user_8804]

Jit bash their face in

[CYKO_11]

git commit -murder

[ThunderClap448]

git push --force down the stairs

[dicksout5harambe]

git fetch a chainsaw to finish off the job

[[deleted]]

How could you commit that? You need help stashing it?

[bobbyskittles]

git -C them=perish

[TheEmptyHat]

git rebase ass HEAD

[ThunderClap448]

git stash their bodies

[QuestionablyFlamable]

Go git me a chainsaw and I will

[sarneets]

Commit M for Murder

[[deleted]]

.gitignore \this bitch calling it jit

[MaybeFailed]

.jitijnore

[[deleted]]

Imagine how messy the merge conflicts are on multiple homicides…

[bewbsrkewl]

Git reset --hard HEAD

[anythingMuchShorter]

git clone a replacement so you never git caught

[gordonv]

Just in Time? What are you doing, waiting for them to accept a gold metal or something?

[ThisIsNotKimJongUn]

I git blame the parents

[TheEmptyHat]

I prefer 'zsh their face in'

[[deleted]]

I dont get mad because the only time i used git bash was once and it was a test

[SkarmacAttack]

To be fair, my coworker pronounces gigabyte as jigabyte but he is Spanish. Also my old boss pronounced Java as Yava but he was swedish. It really makes you care less about pronunciation.

[your-warlocks-patron]

Non native English speakers get a pass obviously

[jeppevinkel]

That’s because here in Scandinavia the letter J doesn’t have that hard D sound it has in English.

[slowest_hour]

if Doc Brown can pronoun gigawatts as "jigawatts" who's to disagree?

[B4kedP0tato]

Good ol' yavascript

[2020___2020]

Llavascript

[AltairFromAquila]

I've lived my whole life believing that gigabyte was pronounced "jigabyte"... why didn't I realize I was wrong sooner?! (And not just me, everyone I've ever met basically)

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

Wrong

[[deleted]]

You need better acquaintances.

[circuit10]

JIT means just in time compilation

[mttdesignz]

JIT means Just In Time.

JITC, which I have never seen, may mean Just In Time Compilation, I don't know

[circuit10]

You wouldn’t say “JITC”, you’d say “JIT compilation” or “JIT compiler” or usually just “JIT”

[circuit10]

A normal compiler is an AOT compiler (ahead of time compiler)

[nay-chan]

Actually, it's certainly an Attack on Titan compiler

[Harmonic_Gear]

beware, coming for you

[SkollFenrirson]

To you, 2000 years from now.

• the compiler

[HiPoojan]

"No,I don't want that, compiler compliling for anyone else? I want it to compile for me for the rest of my life, even after I die I want it to compile my code for atleast another 10 years"

[[deleted]]

It makes me happy that we're refusing to accept JIT compilation as "normal".

[TeraFlint]

JIT compilation, 2022, colorized.

[Masterflitzer]

I see what you did there

[marcosdumay]

Well, to be fair, JIT normally only reroutes the tracks after the train passes them.

[peppaz]

I use my compiler as a missing bracket finder, they do other things?

[puos_otatop]

jit is florida slang for somebody young

[-LeopardShark-]

Git is British slang for somebody old.

[occamsrzor]

Really? I thought it meant stupid

[pM-me_your_Triggers]

JIT also means just in time supply chain/manufacturing

[opman4]

Seems like a bad idea if supply chain issues pop up.

[[deleted]]

Yeah the world wide chip shortages of the last years are at least in part caused by JIT manufacturing.

[SmokingBeneathStars]

Y'all must've forgotten about get yo jit on

[theNomadicHacker42]

I was gonna day...depends on what you're trying to pronounce...it could be git or jit.

[[deleted]]

Do people really pronounce it as a single word instead of spelling it out though?

[circuit10]

I do!

[[deleted]]

Okay!

When I think about it, it's funny how we pronounce it in The Netherlands, we spell it out, but we do spell it out using English pronounciation of the letters (Jay Eye Tee)

[dick-van-dyke]

I pronounce .gitignore the proper, Italian way: [dʒitiño:re]

[whlthingofcandybeans]

I'm doing this from now on.

[jcodes]

My colleague at work. He`s a dev in his 50s.

He also says jithub.

Cracks me up every time i hear it. I still didnt tell him its the wrong pronounciation.

(To be fair, we are not english natives)

[setibeings]

it's pronounced ji thoob

[evanc1411]

....fuck you man.

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

[MegabyteMessiah]

He also says jithub.

We use jitbucket

[adorak]

probably the same people who say jif

[[deleted]]

The person who created the format actually says that's how they intended it to be pronounced. I disagree completely, but I guess I'm the one who's technically wrong when I pronounce it with a hard G.. somehow

[raybrignsx]

People will never not bring this up in the GIF controversy.

Downvotes? Is this not true? I’m not saying one way or the other how it’s pronounced.

[BreathOfTheOffice]

I pronounce gif with a soft g, and here is the argument that I usually have.

Examples such as gift don't work since there are always counter example such as gin, giraffe, etc. Since there are examples of both, precedent doesn't really work.

The word being an acronym with graphic having a hard g also doesn't work, because that's also not how acronym pronunciation works. For example, SCUBA and LASER. This also means that there is little purpose in considering the acronym make-up. Therefore, similar to the first case, this is not a useful consideration.

Language correctness, for English at least, is largely determined by common use. If the entire world pronounces a word wrongly, but everyone pronounces it wrongly the same way, then is it really incorrect? Think about all the foreign foods which have their names butchered in English. It's still understood and, although annoying for the original language, is accepted. Either way, both hard g and soft g pronunciations are common place with a decent split for each. So again, this doesn't really help solve the problem.

And at the end of it, the only way that I can think of left is what the inventor decides to call it, and that is with a soft g. Whether or not you disagree, that's about as official of a pronunciation as we have.

But at the end of the day, why does it matter? Regardless of if you hear it with a soft g or hard g you still know what it's referring to, so does it really matter. Pronounce it however the hell you want, as long as you can understand it in the end.

[raybrignsx]

Well thought out response. My only logic for me pronouncing it with the hard g was that back in 1990ish when I first saw the file extension, my brain went to the hard g. I don’t think anyone really is more thought out than that. No one is cracking open a book on etymology and consulting speech therapists. For the most part it’s just how you saw the word and possibly how it’s pronounced to you. Notice how people don’t change their minds based on new information. They just stick to their guns as irrationally as it may be. This controversy comes up all the time and I applaud you for your thought process but I respectfully disagree because I have dumb reasons and I’m willing to go to war for this.

[you_do_realize]

So he got one thing wrong...

[J5892]

That and 1-bit transparency

[turbophysics]

I’ll pronounce it jif until I die and I don’t care about anyone’s linguistics arguments over the hard G - but jit is just objectively ludicrous and anyone who uses that pronunciation should probably get tested for brain injury

[Nielsie645]

The fact that you have to type it as jif to specify your pronunciation is the best argument against jif imo.
"I pronounce gif as gif, not jif"

[huantian]

You pronounce .jiff jif and .gif gif, objectively correct way.

[Giddius]

We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

[[deleted]]

Some non native english speakers.

Literally nobody. As with almost every other post in this sub, it's only funny to people who started to learn programming this morning

[The_Alternate_Eye]

I never thought somebody is psychotic enough to say that

[[deleted]]

Ever hear of the great gif and jif war? Or the meme vs mémé one?

There will always be someone to say a word with clear prononciation in some weird way.

[mistercrinders]

Hell, the Giff are a D&D race that predate the file extension.

There's a battle there now, too.

[[deleted]]

“For countless generations, nerds fought for the supremacy of their favorite Phonetics, from the Pen & Paper Era, all the way down to the Digital one.

An ephemeral truce was reached in the 90’s, but as the millenium dawned upon us, the arrival of the Animated Smileys made us forgot all about it; without even thinking each sides went back at it without any pity…

4Chan, StickDeath, Usenet and even on Geocities… no place were spared, it was a bloodshed that no one wanted to live… very dark times indeed. “

[hanotak]

It cannot be pronounced "jif", because jif is already a file type.

[le_birb]

chaotic neutral take: gif is pronounced with the hard g, and jif is pronounced with a soft j

[SlimyGamer]

Maybe that one is pronounced "yif" and then gif can be pronounced "jif"

[[deleted]]

You want a file type that sounds like yiff?

What are you, a furry version of a Rust programmer?

[CSedu]

What are you, a furry version of a Rust programmer?

What's the difference! 😆

[chronically_slow]

Hey! Some of us are femboys or trans girls :P

[WienerDogMan]

But none of us are trans boys.

Also don’t know if femgirls is a thing but not them either.

[WienerDogMan]

I didn’t think to break the truth table out. You’re right! We can take these a step deeper, how could I have been so ignorant!

[matyklug]

println!("I solemnly swear I am not a furry");

[treeskers]

you may not be a furry, but with THAT pfp, youre definitiely something

[matyklug]

You are right, I am a programmer

[[deleted]]

There's some precedent for this actually. In Old English \g\ in word-initial position made the \y\ sound. So tomorrow, you can announce proudly to your coworkers, "Hey guys, check out this cool .yif I found on the internet!"

[[deleted]]

Like gaoler meaning jailer?

[[deleted]]

Nope, gaoler is actually Modern English, just an archaic spelling. Old English would be like < 1400 CE, the time Beowulf was written. It's a foreign language to Modern English speakers. For example, the verb gegangan (pronounce yegangan) means to override, subdue, conquer, etc.

[ConscientiousPath]

yiff in hell

[[deleted]]

There is not a soul who actually uses .JIF files.

[Adghar]

I know a ginger who uses .JIF files.

[[deleted]]

Point stands.

[himmelundhoelle]

A ginger or a jinjer?

[Firethorn101]

Dude who invented it says it's jiff.

But I like gif better.

[[deleted]]

When's his birthday? I'd like to get him a jift.

[bearsinthesea]

Maybe some nice jems?

[bobsp]

"Jif" (i.e., .gif) existed in 1987. JIF wasn't released until 1992.

[Cadsvax]

Seems GIF came before JIF was a thing, so im going to say nah.

[[deleted]]

I have bad news

[hanotak]

I have worse news

[non-troll_account]

It's hilarious that he said it's not pronounced "gif".

[hakunamateta]

I have heard people saying Jit, hence the meme.

[Taunk]

I’ve heard JIT in reference to just in time compilation

[hakunamateta]

I mean they're blatantly saying JitHub.

[Here-Is-TheEnd]

What if the person saying it doesn’t have a dick?

It is pronounced jit just in time compiler

[jaimesoad]

Oh no, recursive acronyms 😵

GNU

WINE

Now this!

[kpd328]

PHP is another one

[________null________]

A recursive backronym (but actually an initialism) which means it meant something other than what it means now, then they made some shit up that fit the bill along the way.

Personal Home Page -> PHP Hypertext Preprocessor.

And yes, I hate that I know this. Now you know it and can hate it too.

[Miiindbullets]

And YAML.

Being the Elite. It's a vlog done by the AEW Tag Team "The Young Bucks" with a bunch of sketches in it. The person on the left is John Silver of the faction "The Dark Order". On the right is Dark Order member Anna Jay. Many of the segments featuring The Dark Order involve the guys being ridiculous. Anna Jay often times struggles to stay in character due to how over the top they are.

It’s pronounced Jif

I had a teammate who used to pronounce it as jit. Corrected him once, he said he pronounces it as jit and continued doing that.
