    The guy who created gif says jif, so that one, for starters. I’m sure you say CD-ROM in a way that rhymes with rom-com (side note, rom is wrongly a short O here too) with a short O, yet ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Or do you say See Dee Rome? Maybe with a Spanish background, but not English. Similar with PIN, I for identification but no one says pine. GIMP photo software stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Whether you say Gee Enn Yoo or GNU, GIMP isn’t said a way that matches. The G in GLaDOS is for genetic. PAL (TV) is for Phase Alternating Line. PHAT, pretty hot and attractive. 50% of any time a Q is involved.

        Get down from your giant giraffe and ride a high horse like everyone else. Or do you say “high” with a “g” like “gift”?
