She’s great! I love that she totally owns the clip.

Oh my GOD that is adorable. :)

But I don’t want to destroy the child sized pinata and devour his insides!

I love how the big kid shifts his stance like some mafia goon about to break some ribs, and then he’s like… awwwww

I guess it really doesn’t make sense to expect a kid to smash open a replica of his favorite hero.

Gif vs. Jif.

I’m going to start a new thread where I only speak in animated jifs.

That was interesting. I was also taken aback to see a woman who appeared to be from the early 1940s talking about cinemagraphs.

My thinking is GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format and Graphic has a hard ‘G’. It’s prounounced ˈgra-fik\ not jə-ˈrafik as in Giraffe. So it stands to reason the abbreviation would also use a hard ‘G’.

Your reasoning is WRONG, philistine.

Not sure if I should laugh … is that person being funny or having a seizure?

Apparently she is listening to music with headphones.

Reasoning may or may not be wrong, but pronunciation is right. I’ve never heard a soft g for it ever before. Jif is peanutbutter.

Yea, fuck all that, its a hard G. Its about time we start fixing this retarded language we call English. How can “its spelled GIF, but pronounced JIF” make sense.

Who cares what people working at compuserve think :) All I know is if you use compression, you can save a lot of jiggabytes.

arctangent · 2012-03-09T14:09:43.000Z

It’s pronounced gif with a hard G, dammit. Gif. Not jif.
