Graphical. Guh.

Yup. I get it.

And I pronounce with a hard "g" as well.

But...the guy who invented it says that I'm wrong. Now that he's dead, I can ignore that comment.

OK, who says "gif" with a "soft" g?

I don't and never have.

[George K]

Just wanted to get this out before anyone else...

Hard G

Not to brag, but I once wrote some code to read tiff images.

Spelled with a J.

I don't see where the hangup is, people.

Soft T? As in a Spanish sounding “thiff”?

Yes and ironically I wrote it in Lisp. Not really but it would be nice if so.

This. The inventor of the file format was wrong, if he said otherwise.

No, of course not

Hard G, no question

And the story doesn't say "the inventor", it says " one of the lead inventors of the GIF"

So maybe he was just one of many guys hanging around the office when gif was invented.

The soft G sounds ridiculous
