SOB BOT Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Graphics Interchange Format, right. If it's an acronym I believe there is no correct pronunciation, other than to say it by it's letters. It's like asking what is the proper way to pronounce IBM. But yeah, I used Jiff and Giff interchangably. heh Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/265433-how-do-you-pronouce-gif/#findComment-585213441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwanders Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 i pronounce the g as in 'gown'.
