Trivia: Which acronym pronunciation was debated in a “New York Times” column?
LOL
NBD
GIF
AFAIK
Correct Answer: GIF
So why is this answer correct? : People are so divided about how to pronounce GIF — a type of image file which stands for Graphics Interchange Format — that some have even called the controversy “the great schism of the 21st century.” Is it “gif” or “jif”? The inventor of the GIF, Steve Wilhite, settled the controversy once and for all: It’s pronounced “jif.”
