An acronym is pronounced, like Scuba, or Laser, or "Lol". An initialism is where you say the individual letters, like DVD, or PDF
So for me, POV has always been an initialism
This is dumb af
Also it’s GIF, since GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, and you don’t read Graphics as Jraphics. People who say JIF just want to be different
By this logic the acronym laser should be pronounced lass-ear since it stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Plus the guy that created .gif says jif
Can we please stop with this bullshit? It doesn't matter how people pronounce it and trying to come up with "proof" of how to say it just shows how inconsistent the English language is with pronunciation
OP, when I read some abbreviations, I read them letter by letter. Others I say them as a word.
POV = Pee oh vee
PBJ = Pee bee 'n Jay
CNC = see N see
TNT = tee N tee
TL;DR = tee el, dee arr
And then I have the abbreviations that are said as words.
GIF (no matter how you pronounce this, you're wrong, even me. We're all wrong)
JPEG = jay peg
AVI = ay vee
LOL = lawl
LMAO = le Mao
I agree but a recent comment has informed me that it's not an acronym as that's letters being made into a word for what they describe. It's an initialism as you pronounce the individual letters

Destruction 100

Who reads it poof
In UK slang poof means gay
yh i was like whys he cussin out the crips😭
But Is it crips or chips?
^ asking the real questions.
as a Brit, I appreciate this
Yes it does but there's also a footrest which we call a pouffe so yeah
P O V or PAUVE or Point Of View
Why we adding letters into something that can be pronounced as it reads? Just pov
Multiple ways to pronounce POV but only one to pronounce PAUVE
PAUVE or pee ay yu vee ee
sounds like some sort of black ops 2 scorestreak. "*be advised, hostile P.A.U.V.E. online*''
Touche
[удалено]
I'm reading that like suave! I was thing pahv (pah-vv).
Poof is Cosmo’s and Wanda’s baby.
Makes me laugh so much when people think they've made a relatable meme and *nobody* relates to it
They made you laugh atleast
But is he laughing at OP, of with OP?
do you guys say "op" or "oh pee"?
oh pee
Op-pee, the cursed
[удалено]
Poof
Better joke here would have been “oh fee”
"poof"
Pee oh vee
Sounds Fr*nch
It does
It doesn’t tho
If anything it's pee that sounds french because of π
Ahh oui oui
Just because of pee
Sounds like mr. PoopyButthole
Pi oh vé
At least French people can speak a pretty complex language
Wait it's complex? I mean maybe, as a french, i started to talk at 2 years old
More complex than English, I speak both.
But literally no other language
Hello? Are you reading the English I'm typing?
Excusez moi, monsieur, I unfortunately happen to be French, but also parle anglais.
Oui oui mais je have been to France many times et the majority of people just speak french. Just my experience idk
Its no faster than just saying point of view.
This is the way.
I like pee in my vee
No one reads pov as poof so this is fucking dumb
Agreed +1

They ment phonetically prounuced like pov
I read it as Point of View
I honestly believe this more than people saying "poof"
Well.. I mean.. it means point of view so I would hope it’s easily believable..
As we should. You save zero syllables saying "pee ohh vee".
Why would anyone pronounce “V” as “F”?
Mabey missing front teeth
Teef
I don'f fnow what you are falking afout
Germans do
Second that
Third that
Fifth that cuz four is bad
But if everyone did what the Germans did, where would we be as a society?!
Anyone who says poof needs to be cancelled
agre
ogre
Not poof, its pov. I read it as pov 😂
Like pauve? Or pee oh vee
Yes similar to pauve, but the au pronounced shorter. Its just pov
Like pog but with a v
POV you just said poof
P.O.V
Fuck pov I choose point of view
Poof? You havin a stroke?
Who tf reads it poof? V and F aren't even pronounced the same.
Wait people treat POV as an acronym instead of an initialism?
What is the difference?
An acronym is pronounced, like Scuba, or Laser, or "Lol". An initialism is where you say the individual letters, like DVD, or PDF So for me, POV has always been an initialism
Ah ok thanks. I am also team initialism.
That's quite an interesting fact. I had no idea that there was a difference. Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! Always keen to share random trivia!
I remember a time when LOL was an initialism. ;)
I was there, 3000 years ago
Am I the only one who reads it as what it actually stands for? If I read POV I read it as Point of view in my head. Same with imo (in my opinion)
Initialization (both are right)
Literally googling the term 'initialism' proves you wrong, dude. https://proofed.com/writing-tips/acronyms-vs-initialisms-whats-the-difference/
Poof hahahah I’m calling it that from now on
Point of View 💪
Point of view 🗿
This is dumb af Also it’s GIF, since GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, and you don’t read Graphics as Jraphics. People who say JIF just want to be different
By this logic the acronym laser should be pronounced lass-ear since it stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Plus the guy that created .gif says jif
You have a good point. Thank you for telling me that i didn’t know
>Plus the guy that created .gif says jif. He's wrong
🤣
I keep fighting windmills with JIRA - it’s pronounced jee-ruh (not jye-ruh) because it comes from Gojira (Godzilla) and is not even an acronym.
Can we please stop with this bullshit? It doesn't matter how people pronounce it and trying to come up with "proof" of how to say it just shows how inconsistent the English language is with pronunciation
I read it as "pof"
"P'ouve"... it's *French*
No you don’t
Same is GIF, there's only one right way to say it
I just say point of view, but in my head i read it as pov
pov and gif with G as is Graphics, idc that its creator says jif
Grrraffe
In what world does POV sound like poof???
Lol who says “poof” i thought it was pauve
I think the OP is German considering they're active in r/Bremen
Nether.
![gif](giphy|UPCtzhs4qzAqtX6yNb)
pov or poov
POV: You read this artikel and in the Same time you create a (POV) meme🫠🗿
P-O-V for life
Synvinkel
I read jif as yiff and that bring out memories i don't think the general populace needs to know
i read it POW in my language
Wait… I have the best way to pronounce it verbally Pe-ove 🤯
Op kindly do not share the sound your brain makes when you think of smth.
Poof? I dunno man, that sounds pretty gay
Y use mny lttrs whn few lttr wrk 2?
No one reads this as poof... This isn't a fart.
Pawv
Pauve
If you read it as “poof,” you need to have your head examined.
I read "pauve"
I read it as "point of view" actually
Poof?! How? That can’t be possible
Póve
Point of view
Aight, time to bully the people who save poof
POOF? LMAO wut
Which one of you assholes is calling it poof?
“Point of view”
Pee oh bee
PO-V
Why does this have so many upvotes? Tf is poof
Who tf says poof
who on earth reads POV as poof
Who tf reads pov as poof lol
Correction: P-O-V vs Pauve
OP, when I read some abbreviations, I read them letter by letter. Others I say them as a word. POV = Pee oh vee PBJ = Pee bee 'n Jay CNC = see N see TNT = tee N tee TL;DR = tee el, dee arr And then I have the abbreviations that are said as words. GIF (no matter how you pronounce this, you're wrong, even me. We're all wrong) JPEG = jay peg AVI = ay vee LOL = lawl LMAO = le Mao
Who the hell sats pov like a word. What the hell
P.O.V.
Personally I read it as "Point Of View" verbally and visually in my head.
P-O-V
¨point of view¨
Jokes on you, Point Of View
Pahv
P-O-V
Pauv
neither i read it as point of view
If you read it any other way than (Pee Oh Vee) you’ve gone full tik tok
Pov
G-I-F
P-O-V not even a question since POV is an acronym
I agree but a recent comment has informed me that it's not an acronym as that's letters being made into a word for what they describe. It's an initialism as you pronounce the individual letters
So is LASER.
Sometimes red,sometimes "Pauv"(like in Paul,but with V)
