Comment on When you hear someone pronounce GIF as 'JIF

The guy that invented the GIF said it is pronounced Jif. And of course that is a common pronunciation for “gi” words, like gin, giraffe, ginger, giant, ginseng, and so on.

And before you say “but the g stands for graphics” tell me about what the p in MPEG stands for.
