RIP Stephen Wihite and thanks for the GIF

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Interesting that the pronunciation would have been in question over the years. The developer says it's "jif" so that's its name. BUT - it's not really a word. It's an acronym, properly pronunced "G I F" or completely as "Graphics Interchange Format" with all capital letters. So developers preference notwithstanding, grammatically there is no "correct" way to pronounce a non-word.
