Having the long, worn-out debate on how to say what graphic file it is? This should solve it.

I'm so used to calling it "GIF" instead of "JIF."

Oh well...

"The GIF graphics file format was invented by CompuServe in 1987. In the years since, a debate has been raging as to the correct way to pronounce "GIF": like "jif", or with a hard 'g' as in "gift" as a majority of Mac users seem to prefer. With this page I intend to clear this up once and for all...

It's pronounced like "jif". Period. The end. That's final. End of story."

I personally think it's JIF
