Giff. (hard sound not soft) GIF stands for graphics interchange format. NOT Giraffe In-vitro Fertilisation |

I must say, I did not expect such a decisive victory. And in favor of the wrong answer no less. Jukain, it appears only you and I win....the Prize.

Maybe the creator (Mr. Ryan Gifferton) didn't want people to think of this when they talking about cool bouncing lady gifs. |

If the G in Gif stands for Graphics, how can it possibly have the Giraffe pronunciation? |

Because it's an acronym. I found out The Prize is just the ability to become mortal and have kids anyway, so you can have it. |

From wiki: The creators of the format pronounced GIF with a soft "G" /ˈdʒɪf/ as in "gin". An alternative pronunciation uses a hard "G" /ˈɡɪf/ as in "graphics", reflecting the expanded acronym. Both pronunciations are given as correct by the Oxford English Dictionary[5] and the American Heritage Dictionary.[6] |

Not so fast Mr. Colnfirmation Bias. http://www.olsenhome.com/gif/ The Dictionary may accept both as acceptable (due to over-misuse), but only one is "right". Not that I really wanted to argue the point, I just wondered how people were saying it in thier heads when Banana posts a wall of Korean ladies. |
