The original programmer specified "peanut butter" in the original docs, but being the author of a format does not make you a linguist. If each component of Graphics Interchange Format is pronounced properly, it is hard-g gif, and not the peanut butter.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago> If each component of Graphics Interchange Format is pronounced properly That's simply not how acronyms work. Acronyms that form a pronounceable word typically coalesce into an agreed pronounciation that does not need to have anything in common with its components. Take for example: ANSI: neither "A" nor "I" is pronounced as their components. CHAP: not sure how you'd murder this to fit a second "H" and the "A" isn't the same, either. CIDR: "C" and "I" differ. I'd laugh at you if you tried to say "kidder"! CMOS: I usually hear this as "see-mahs", but you do you. LAN: different "A" POP: this is not the "O" you're looking for. POST: again laughing at anyone who says "pahst" Those are just the IT-related ones I surveyed. Have fun.
