What is GIF short for?

GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format. It was first developed by a computer scientist in the late 80s. Many people argue about the pronunciation of GIF—whether the ‘G’ is supposed to be pronounced as in ‘giraffe’ or as in ‘goat’. There has not been one unifying decision in its pronunciation.
