GIF is another curiously undecided word. I'm also reminded of "gigawatt", which was widely mispronounced following "Back to the Future" in 1985, but is now generally pronounced correctly. I attribute the change to the introduction of gigabyte hard drives.

- hathawsh 7y agoGood catch! Among my friends, though, "1.21 jigawatts" is still a funny joke.
