You do you, but Graphics having a hard G doesn't force GIF to any more than the Amplification in LASER forces the pronunciation of its A, or Stimulated its S, or Emission its E. Or do you and your friends also say "lasseer" instead of "layzur"? This is an arbitrary choice you've made in one case but not the other.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoTo be totally fair, note that the E in laser is in fact pronounced identically (/ə/) to the E in emission.
- ghusbands 5y agoMight depend on where you live, but where I am the "er" in "laser" is like anything the "-er" for almost all words with that ending, but the "e" in "emission" is like the "i" in "igloo" (or like the second "i" in "emission").
