"Gif" vs "Jif"

[AshMan]

I know there are MANY people (Yes, YOU!) out there who refer to web image files are "Gifs" rather than "Jifs". I had one guy who started to role around on the floor when I told referred to an image as a "Jif". I had the last laugh though, I fired his uneducated @$$; you never laugh at the boss! I've had many arguments with similar uneducated people who clam to be web/design/graphic experts! Buhh!

Anyway, the fact remains, it's pronounced Jifs and not Gifs. :)

The Facts

We have had this argument here before, it's Gif as far as I am concerned.

Bit like the word 'Router', some say 'Rowter' I say 'Router'.

Sorry, 'Rowter' and 'Router' sound the same. I'm assuming you think it's pronounced 'rooter'. There's a reason why words are spelled with an 'oo' or 'ou'--they sould different. So I also have to assume you say 'oor' (our), 'hoor' (hour), 'soor' (sour), etc. :laugh:
