Non techie colleague: ... Yeah she really likes sending gifs
Me: is it 'gif' or 'jif'
Non techie: "I don't know 'gif' - 'jif', no 'jif just sounds weird"
Me: ah but the creator called them 'jifs'
TECHIE colleague: yeah well he's just wrong!

    Photographic, not Potographic (JPEG)

    To be clear, I'm a Gif person, not a Jif person, but this "the sound the letter makes in the words" argument doesn't always hold water

    @RiderExMachina It's all subjective anyway. Pick a front and fight the good fight!
