They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF, chiming in on the pronunciation of the word. (As everyone knows, choosy memes choose “jif.”) Wilhite, a former CompuServe employee, created the format in 1987 <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/21/an-honor-for-the-creator-of-the-gif/?smid=tw-nytimes" target="_blank">and is to receive an award for his creation tonight</a>.  (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shortformblog.com/" target="_blank">shortformblog</a>)</p> <p><strong>I say it with a hard ‘G’ because 20 years ago when I started messing with GIFs there was no one to tell me how to pronounce it correctly. I chose the most logical pronunciation and went with it. When you get used to saying something a certain way for 20 years… that’s pretty much how you are going to say it no matter how incorrect someone tells you it is. </strong></p> <p><strong>It’s like someone trying to tell you “Sun” is actually pronounced wombatnards. It’s going to take an awful lot of effort to train your brain to say “I got a really bad wombatnardsburn today.  I should have used more wombatnardsblock.”</strong></p> <p><strong>Hard G 4 life #YOLO</strong></p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thefrogman.me/" target="_blank">thefrogman</a>)</p> <p>^Truth. But I think that if “sun” was pronounced “wombatnards”, I would immediately correct myself just so I could say “wombatnards”.</p></em>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51036384689http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51036384689Tue, 21 May 2013 18:47:19 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f766a30c61a91d83aeceeedb9d8de46b/tumblr_mn602hXxRd1qeb1z1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A good deal! #blackoutpoetry</p>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51010090276http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51010090276Tue, 21 May 2013 13:11:05 -0700blackoutpoetry<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4036f4d348c1b448c7dd953639fda935/tumblr_mn5vgeUS0O1qeb1z1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#blackoutpoetry 7th graders are more than we think</p>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51003263581http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51003263581Tue, 21 May 2013 11:31:25 -0700blackoutpoetry<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ca53ebc2cace103bc51d5e941c98c1ef/tumblr_mn5vg460xr1qeb1z1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#blackoutpoetry</p>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51003254365http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/51003254365Tue, 21 May 2013 11:31:16 -0700blackoutpoetry<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/84306bcd0f7f2c2cbcde62b82ee6ffc8/tumblr_mmz6ipi84z1riwxulo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://areyoutryingtodeduceme.tumblr.com/post/50787967774/this-will-never-not-be-hilarious-to-me" target="_blank">areyoutryingtodeduceme</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>this will never not be hilarious to me</p> </blockquote> <p><br/>Lawl.</p>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50988670439http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50988670439Tue, 21 May 2013 06:53:56 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d93476b04cf164e91aa26da935393f92/tumblr_mn4qijUgyK1qat4lho1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/46929b452b26c311677253a14714b803/tumblr_mn4qijUgyK1qat4lho2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>Me in T-minus 2.5 days.</p>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50986569966http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50986569966Tue, 21 May 2013 06:03:00 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7d6e7fd62081c0d2af9b2dd8dfac099a/tumblr_mn2b7sGUCc1qb5gkjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://iraffiruse.net/post/50942045977" target="_blank">iraffiruse</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/Z44K5j" target="_blank">Frozach Submitted</a></p> </blockquote>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50946027601http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50946027601Mon, 20 May 2013 16:52:31 -0700<p><a href="http://shitmystudentswrite.tumblr.com/post/50923173727/as-patrick-henry-so-famously-said" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">shitmystudentswrite</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>“Get me library or dead.”</p></blockquote>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50933484562http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50933484562Mon, 20 May 2013 14:11:01 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c06d607cedf08c21c60dd7c455730b37/tumblr_mn2ly1E4Ko1rc5t3eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50878268107http://tbend.tumblr.com/post/50878268107Sun, 19 May 2013 20:01:58 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a2b45bb2ccc99bf974c7c8621f3673ca/tumblr_mmx28gndma1s0zwngo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahdementia.com/post/50797339506/all-glory-to-the-hypnotoad" target="_blank">fuckyeahdementia</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!</span></p> </blockquote> <p>Clap.
