This website page, www.olsenhome.com/gif, was recently all over the blogosphere and I thought I’d link to it here. Anyone who uses a ‘puter is bound to come across a gif file. But so many people don’t know what to call it… is it a hard ‘g’ like gift, or a soft one like giraffe? And you want to know… because when you refer to it incorrectly you make yourself look like a novice. 
Which is why you need to be careful saying anything from another language, like Versace or hors d’œuvre, because you could really peg yourself as uncouth.
Oh, and by the way… it’s pronounced “jif”.
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
Thanks for the pronouncian guide, I know i was emotionally devastated when people laughed at me in college for pronouncing natural logarithm as “lawn” instead of a distinct “L N.” Now i’ll never make a similar gaffe talking about graphics files.
lol, not sure why i never asked my self that I guess i always just assumed it was pronounced jif lol….nice lookoing blog you have here
So is Graphics Interchange Format actually pronounced…
GJraphics Interchange Format?Sorry man, I own up to not having enough self-control to resist. Seriously, I wanted to thank you for the Driscoll link from last week, that was a very informative message.
Thanks again.
Grace and peace be with you.
