      Jon and I, being normal people (Californians are waaaay more normal than the relatives I'm on vacation with in the South), call it gif.

        However, it's more politically correct to pronounce it pee-en-gee, or ping. ;) -- Now we live in a world of uncertainty Fear is the key - to what you want to be You don't get a say, the majority gets it's way You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...

And it's jif, no hard 'g' sound, that's just plain wrong. And it's pecan not pecaun, such as it's trash can not trash caun. KMK is California's best band.:cool:

                      While you're down there, David, ask you relatives about Alabama law. I've long wondered if, after you divorce your wife in Alabama, she's still your sister.;)

                                      GIF. Though on Fridays we like to say TGIF, to be clever you know. "Hey Paul, have you uploaded the TGIFs yet?" Hyuk. Hyuk. Hyuk. But then we are a wee bit sad. Hey! I watched my first sunrise from our new office balcony. Ahhh, old ways continue... bloody hell Greece cannot come fast enough.

                                          I know the guys that created the GIF format. Even today they are frequently asked what the correct pronunciation is :). Here is their reply: For those who care, the correct pronunciation is "JIF", not as in "gift." Todd
