it's not like gif stands for jraphics interchange format.

neither does it stand for giraffe interchange format.

nor does it stand for geranium interchnage format.

but if you're sharing gifs of giraffes or giraniums, i suppose that's allowable.

The p in jpeg stands for photographic, but you don't pronounce it a "jay-feg".

By that logic, "jpeg" is pronounced jay-feg, "scuba" scuh-ba, and "laser" lah-seer.

Such a dumb argument that never holds up.
