Contraversial! Someone told me the inventor of the term says 'jif' even though most folks use 'gif' and that really threw me. Up to that point I assumed it was a hard g at the front.
he does, but he's a master troll
he is?! but how could the inventor of gif be anything less than a demiGod?! hehe
hahaha how have I never seen that? Thanks Russell!!
Well he is clearly wrong! LOL ;) Just having to use a different spelling to explain it should be a clue that he made the wrong decision. Moving on, is it really Lady Ja Ja??? I've spent 20 years saying Gif and I'm not changing now.
*triggered*
trijjered!
It's "jif". When you invent your own file format, you get to decide what it's called.
let's invent our own file format and make it start with a silent Q πŸ˜…
I don't care what people say it's pronounced "gif"
Of course it's pronounced "JIF" because it's short for Giraffe-ics Interchange Format.

I know it's pronounced JIF but I pronounce it GIF anyway
Don't care what the founder/creator/inventor says...it will always be GIF in my head.
What a jift to humanity
G is fro graphics not jraphics
Is it GIPHY or JIFFY?
I stand with the hard G
