It's "Graphic Interchange Format" not "Jraphic Interchange Format" so...

English is the most convoluted language on Earth. Every rule has 50 exceptions.

Houston, Texas is pronounced "HEWS-TON". Houston St. in NYC is pronounced "HOUSE-TON". Neither side claims the other is wrong.

I've been working with computers since 1982. In all my experience, this push to call it "GHIFF" is a recent phenomenon.

LONAF! The "o" stands for "of" which is a short 'o'. Should we have been calling it LUH-NAFF all these years?

(I can keep typing silly rationalizations all day, lol I AIN'T EVER GONNA SAY GHIFF EVEN IF THE PC POLICE (computers or language) COME AND PUT ME UNDER THE LIGHTS, MYEH!)

Well, to a cock-sucking, ball-licking, ass-pounding, shower-peeking homoqueer like me, that's a good thing!

I can respect that, just don't impose your shower-peeking homoqueerness on me, you big fat gay.

I would never! Although I only let people join here if they have a purty mouth.
