sjordan2 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Like the peanut butter, not gift without a t. Even highly experienced techs I've known get it wrong.

Harry P. Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ever since I've been working in web design and online graphics (since the late 80s), it's been "GIFF," not "JIFF," to me and everyone I've ever worked with. Kind of late in the game for the creator to now come along 25 years later to tell us all how to pronounce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
