Historically it doesn’t matter what the creator of anything prefers unless it’s an “unveiling” and they name it on the spot.

I can't for the life of me find it now, but the gif was introduced with an image that contained in its metadata a statement that "it's pronounced jif". You can still find it somewhere and open it in notepad and read it for yourself.

I believe it also said "choosy moms choose gif."

EDIT: It was "choosy devs choose gif."

No way, that’s awesome to learn. I will have to try and find it and see.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
