Do you think it&#x27;s pronounced &quot;GIF or &quot;JIF&quot;?

@zyqxd trijjered!

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.

@rhs he is?! but how could the inventor of gif be anything less than a demiGod?! hehe

@rhs hahaha how have I never seen that? Thanks Russell!!

@abadesi @rhs 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.

Don't care what the founder/creator/inventor says...it will always be GIF in my head.

It's "jif". When you invent your own file format, you get to decide what it's called.

@juliegauthier2 let's invent our own file format and make it start with a silent Q 😅

The story goes that at the time the devs working on the project would say “choosy developers choose gifs,” and reference to the old Jif peanut butter slogan (“choosy Moms choose Jif.”
