There's a certain kind of person who investigates the history of a word to pronounce it differently than everyone else to look smart. You do not want to be this kind of person.

i learned that it was pronounced "gif", and not "gif" :rolleyes:, back in the early days of the web from some GIF Masters so i'm pretty sure my pronunciation is correct.

it doesn't matter what The Creator says, if you see GIF and pronounce it with a "j", then you've got a soft spot in your head and shouldn't be allowed to operate anything more complicated than a bicycle, if that

it's g as in grapes and shove it up your rear end and get back to remedial school for basic grammar if you think otherwise

ping from png makes sense, it's not like he's insisting we call it "errng" cause "that p is actually a rho, and furthermore"
