Thanks for the tips on “jifs”. That Brent Spiner track made me laugh so hard I nearly broke the furniture.

Leo said it as “JIF” when he was mentioning the Mac animator program. It was Brian “The honorary Screen Saver” Stevens who blurbled through the GIF “JIF” thing that annoyed me the most.

Did you see the screen savers the other night. Leo said it with a hard G. What a moron lol.

Yeahhoo, Yawhoo – big woop.
Shatner's rendition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is timeless. A classic in any civilized or uncivilized country.

Stop the press. to the best of my knowledge, gif stands for “Graphic Interchange Format” Now, adhering to the standard would say that GIF is in fact to be pronounced with a hard G.

Just because the inventors of the format can't spell doesn't mean I should give up all my years of training in english.
And to boot I'll be damned if I'm gonna be a walking advert for peanut butter. Not gonna happen.
Sorry but no, the answer is no. It is not jiffy pop either! Someone has to stand up to these fools!

I started out in the early nineties saying “jiff” and then over time (by 96 maybe) I switched to “giff”… I forgive myself, but I will be sad if U-R-L ever becomes “earl”… man that would suck. Saying a hard G seems to somehow wrangle an essence of Occam's razor. Why use a soft G, unless there was an explict reason?

I don't care how it is pronounced, I just wish that I could get Leonard Nimoy's version of “Both Sides Now” out of my head!!!

Gentle reader,
Just because the “G” (pronounced “jee”) in Graphical is hard, this doesn't mean the “G” in .gif is hard. Giraffe, gyp, generic, etc… Got to go grab gnomedex gear gnow.

I was about to say “like the peanut butter” then I read the title.
On another note, I'm doing the Love-in thing today:

Chris, you were the reason to watch CFH. Most of the things you featured and the questions you answered were remedial to me but, as a support person, it gave me a new perspective on how to reach my remote clients and communicate things to them in layman terms. I thank you and look forward to meeting you at GD3.
