I MOSTLY USE GAYPEGS ANYHOW.
Dan and I have been having a little disagreement (
here and
here) about the pronounciation of “GIF.” He belongs to the soft G (Jiff) camp, which would be fine (the originator of the format also says it that way) if he weren’t such a hard line pedant about it. I, on the other hand, pronounce it with a hard G (Gif) as in “GRAPHIC Interchange Format” – a choice that is preferred by many webophiles, professional and amateur alike, and I dispute his claim to the universal “correct” way to say the acronym. All offers to settle this issue by Ro-Sham-Bo have been ignored.
