Some GIF trivia for you all (from: http://www.olsenhome.com/gif/):
Quote:
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" as in the peanut butter, 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.
You disagree? Hey, I'm just quoting the inventors of the format. Here's the evidence:
CompuServe used to distribute a graphics display program called CompuShow. In the documentation for version 8.33 in the FAQ section, it states:
The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), pronounced "JIF", was designed by CompuServe and the official specification released in June of 1987.
There, straight from the inventors of the format.

The acronym starts with graphics (a hard G) and then it's pronounced like a J? Yeah, no.
