So how do you pronounce GIF?

First of all - more about Adam later - don't kill me!


Now - how do you pronounce GIF?

I'm sure you do what a lot of us do - pronounce it like GIFt. With a hard G. Makes sense really, it is afterall gift minus a T.

Problem is, it's pronounced JIF. Which sucks.

Other problem is, here's why it's pronounced JIF. Sucks again.

Let's hope no one tells me next that jpeg isn't pronounced jay-peg. The world will never be the same.
