GIF vs. JIF, how do you pronounce it?
We asked students how they pronounce the tricky three letter word
It’s the age-old battle that has plagued the Internet for years: is it pronounced GIF or JIF? With the question burning in our minds, we went around campus and asked students at Florida State which camp they fell in. Here are some of their answers.
Jake, 20, Biology
“GIF because it’s not peanut butter.”
Stephanie, 20, Media/Communication Studies
“I pronounce it JIF, because that’s how I was taught it was pronounced and I’m not changing now.”
Rebecca Cooperman, 18, Exploratory
*prolonged silence* “JIF?”
Morgan, 18, Chemistry
“It’s GIF.”
Kyle, 21, Accounting
“This if JIF.”
Adrian, 20, Oboe Performance
“My pronunciation of this word is JIFE.”
So which side of this war do you belong to, GIF, JIF, or JIFE?
