Also, it's not pronounced like the damn peanut butter. Come on now.
It is.
Quote:
The pronunciation of "GIF" is specified in the GIF specification to be "jif", as in "jiffy", rather then "gif", which most people seem to prefer. This does seem strange because the "G" is from the word "Graphics" and not "Jraphics".
So there you have it: The peanut butter pronunciation is technically the correct one to go with.
