I still pronounce it "GIF" instead of "jiff".

Also, while we're at it, screw the metric system.

I just say the 3 letters G-I-F, I guess I'm weird.

Gif is right. I don't care what the creator says

Always said jiff. Gif just sounds awkward to me.

frick anyone who says "jiff".

It's factually supposed to be pronounced giff instead of jiff. Like URL is You-Are-Ell, not Earl.

Creator said it was jiff. But he wrong.

Do what you want with gif but don't hate metric. We should switch ASAP

Well if want to use that argument then factually it's supposed to be Gee-Eye-eff but no spells it out.
I'd usually go with what the creator says but he waited too long to tell us how to say it. Everybody says GIF already so that's what it became.

See, I didn't even know he said that, and I've been hearing computer people tell me since I was a kid that it was Giff.
And as for URL, those same computer people would tell me that acronym specifically was meant to be spelled out. I guess I just have shite info.

I like the metric system, but I hope we never switch to Celsius from Fahrenheit for measuring temps. I like the wider range that F gives.

I interchange the two terms, tbh.

I have a name for peanut butter, and I have a name for animated pictures. They are NOT the same
