*enter Descole with a bag of chips* "G is silent in 'gnome,' I is silent in 'parliament,' and F is silent in 'halfpenny,' so the CORRECT pronunciation is" *unsettling silence*
Luke is right because his logic was only if the letter makes a different sound due to another letter not present in the acronym, then you have to look at the acronym on its own, not just looking at the acronym as the default only but rather only if a condition is met. That being said if you did toss the condition aside, and read it as it is as Layton says, then the default would still be the hard "G" since an acronym being read as it would be assumed to have the letters pronounced as you usually would majority of the time. But then thinking about both situations what would happen if you had an acronym with a "H" after a "P" like JPHEG but let's imagine the "P" stood for "Potato" (whether pronounced "pot-tay-toe" or "pot-taa-toe"), what would you do then? Because the "P" makes a hard "P" sound, "puh", and since you can read it as it's default without any letters in "Potato" having an affect on "P", it'd be pronounced as "Jay-Puh-Heg", which doesn't work. But then what would make that argument work is if you apply the logic applied to the "J" where if the next letter doesn't work, then you'd read the name of the letter thus making it "Jay-Pee-Heg" which while still is much shorter to pronounce than the acronym in full, isn't convenient to say. What does this all mean though? It means you need to go outside and get some bitches.
One question for layton though: How does one pronounce the word 'give'? Should it be pronounced with a hard G, or should it be pronounced with a soft G, in a similar fashion to 'jive', and by that logic, should give not be pronounced like 'guy-ve'?
Actually it would be more like scubbæ, with æ being used to represent the “a” sound in words like “apple” and, more relevantly, “apparatus”. You make a good point, though.
it's "gif" because even when looking at it as is, we don't pronounce words like get or gone as "jet" or "jone" so what makes gif any different. there's nothing to mutate the g into a j. furthermore it's inconvenient to call it "jiff" because that's an abbreviation of the word jiffy, a not uncommon word that means an indescript short amount of time.
english is quite inconsistent with pronunciations of words and like the commenter above me mentioned, there are plenty of words that start with g that are pronounced with a j sound
This is great but to ignore the message entirely, when you look a gif, you read it ge-if, people who say it as jiff or whatever are just doing it to be contrairian
What I really find jarring about all this is how they call the g as in guinea "hard g" when the other way around is intuitive. It made the discussions hard to follow until I understood.
What is up with people nowadays?? there's thousands of views, but only hundreds of likes, did people leave the the video past the point that youtube counts as a view and didn't like it?

"Luke, we're british" its such a funny line god dammit
Nothing makes me happier than layton vids in 2022! Can't believe the professor pronounces gif wrong tho 😭
its “jif” tho
not this shit again
I'm shaking and crying I can't believe layton says jif. I'm throwing my complete Layton collection in the bin and that poster I got from nintendo mag
the professor layton fandom is still alive 🙏
Ah yes, Professor Layton, my favourite Inazuma Eleven character.
When transparent images fight each other just bc of a image moving without sound:
its actually "yiff"
Your parents want me to have talk with you
It's actually hiff
@@ep_ion1112 - lmao
Ciff is a cleaning agent here
That was previously called Yiff.
But I find this humerous considering its definition.
@@ep_ion1112 i like it
@@ep_ion1112 first off, its a joke. second off, dont like it dont look at it 😋
Gift without the T. You're welcome.
Yes, the person who made it confirmed it's "jiff". But it isn't Jraphics. I'm also gonna say jpheg

I'm with Luke on this. It's "Gif" and I will not change stance on that.
Indeed
The G in "Gif" is pronounced just like the G in "Garage"

There's two

It's think it's from an Everybody's Golf and Professor Layton crossover?

If you go by acronyms though, "Scuba" should be pronounced "scubba"

Somehow this turned wholesome at the end. 😆
jif?? is this a looping short video or a jar of peanut butter?
That's literally the reason the creator calls it Jif, because it's the name of a peanut butter brand, which is why I refuse to take his word for it.
"How do you know the pronunciation is not jiff?"
"I'M 42!"
its just the word gift without the t
Though is just thought without the t but its still pronounced differently
"English is a phonetically inconsistent language"
"Japan" is spelt the same as "Japanese" without the "ese," but for some reason, these words are pronounced differently.
This is wonderful
I HAVE ASCENDED, I KNOW THE ANSWER
IT IS PRONOUNCED 'GIF'
it's simple, it's a moving picture, not fucking peanut butter
Very very good
Funny, wholesome and cleared my skin. 10/10 video, would recomend👍

Now pronounce giraffe, gist, gem, george, giant, gym, germ, general, genius, gingivitis, etc.

This is great but to ignore the message entirely, when you look a gif, you read it ge-if, people who say it as jiff or whatever are just doing it to be contrairian
amazing
I have never heard of professer layton or luke but i think this is funny
What I really find jarring about all this is how they call the g as in guinea "hard g" when the other way around is intuitive. It made the discussions hard to follow until I understood.
It’s only natural I found this
I know Luke is right. I like to think of it with this mental trick:
🎁
Is that a “gift” or a “jift”?
Top 40 favorite videos Top 38 favorite videos for sure for top 38 favorite videos of top for sure for top 48 favorite videos it’s up there
i'll take it
You don't need a better pfp, your current pfp is absolute art
It’s like the “G” the geography
just say g i f, letter by letter.like gee-eye-if.
Professorlicious
Chad Layton, pronouncing Gif correctly.
is this in the new game
it better be
this is the most scuffed video i have ever watched and it also one of my favorites holy fuck
'G' isn't pronounced j on its own
yeah and it's not pronounced "guh" on its own either. it's pronounced "jee"
@@HEYimHeroic jeeif
Wait, why does Layton talk like Will Shatner?
I always thought it was pronounce gif, no?
this is inspired by the Sonic and Shadow one right?
Wholesome c:
Its literally gift without the t, anyone who pronounces it jif should be put in jail
jif
"jif" for the win
thank you gay arts
thank you Jlitchmoko
@@vanessa5552806 You are literally spelling it different...
The argument about JPEG is so miopic...
It's Gif cause Jiff is a brand of peanut butter, and peanut butter doesn't work well on computers
If we all agree JIF is JIF, how can some claim GIF also has that pronunciation? The spelling would make no difference then
pronouncing GIF as JIF is cringe, it is not peanut butter it is a file format
What is up with people nowadays??
there's thousands of views, but only hundreds of likes, did people leave the the video past the point that youtube counts as a view and didn't like it?
Luke got it right
its jiff lol
