The Great Debates 1: How to pronounce GIF?

Jay Peg or JuhPeg :wink: ?

Yes, one of those :stuck_out_tongue:

Which one of these would you use for animage.jif

I wouldn’t, I would use one of the standard acronyms that everyone knows and understands instead of an arcane one that only a handful of geeks know and only use to look superior over lesser beings. In particular, no-one uses an extension that would lead to inevitable confusion with .gif, which again is common and which most people know and understand. I have never come across a file named .jif in real world deployment. Therefore I would pronounce it as jay-peg, because that is how anyone with any sense would have named the file.

Yes, I excuse you. :slight_smile:

Thanks so much. Now you have some explaning to do… What did you mean with “women, too”? And you’d rather don’t offend me :stuck_out_tongue:

You have to be able to follow my warped patterns of thought, I guess.

Not everyone in this world is sensible … aye, men … women too!

Oh yes, I’ve got that… but women are always sensible… always! :stuck_out_tongue:

Rule 1: Women are always right.
Rule 2. When women are wrong see rule 1.

My mom used to say

I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong.
