Someone doesn't know how to use manual focus... grrr.

...I'm really surprised I was entertained by that. Thank you, internet.

GIF isn't pronounced JIF, dummy-heads!

Very interesting and looks like a fun challenge, though I kind of wish they'd breakdown each of their respective paths, page by page, just to satisfy my curiosity.

I know! I always have been pronouncing it with a hard "G", not a soft "G". If it were meant to be pronounced with a soft "G" then it would be spelled with a "J"!

Exactly. It's not called the Jraphics Interchange Format.

They'd probably also call that other image format "gay-pegs."

Well, I know I'm going to call them gay-pegs from now on.

What about pangees? How do you pronounce them?>> ^lucky760:

According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.

Well, when the zombie uprising comes, and you're at the gate asking to get in, lets just say you better pronounce gif they way I like it.

Oh dude, we do monthly games outside the box like this at work. Time to add it to the list.

PNG is obviously PUH-NUG-GUH

But it's in the spec!

Incidentally, GIF is pronounced 'jif':

I'm not particularly happy about that one myself, as it collides with my native tongue rather unfortunately. Just another reason to use PNG, I guess!
