For some reason if I had to imagine Aguirre in this situation I'd rather picture her as the one on the left at the beginning

I'm reading the lips.... DID HE SAY JIFF????

He did, and it's actually correct.

There's even an old saying of "Choosy developers choose GIF". I pronounce it with the hard G because...pronouncing it like Jiff is weird.

Why would it be correct when GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format? "Graphics" is pronounced with a hard 'G'.

[TheBahaBlast]

Why would it be correct when GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format? "Graphics" is pronounced with a hard 'G'.

The creators of the format pronounced GIF with a soft "G" /ˈdʒɪf/ as in "gin". An alternative pronunciation uses a hard "G" /ˈɡɪf/ as in "graphics", reflecting the expanded acronym. Both pronunciations are given as correct by the Oxford English Dictionary[5] and the American Heritage Dictionary.[6]
According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[7] This pronunciation was also identified by CompuServe in their documentation of a graphics display program called CompuShow.[7]

From Wiki. I had heard about the pronunciation years ago from a Comp Sci professor. I was boggled as you were. Hard G still works, but original intent is apparently Jif.

I feel old because the way I learned about GIF was writing a program to display 256 color images (not animations) from the CompuServe docs.

I have the original picture on my office wall. If I ever get stressed, I look up and just remember creasing up with laughter at the back of the class.
