who created gifs
The inventor of the Gif file has revealed that the world has been mispronouncing his creation. Steve Wilhite, who invented the Gif file in 1987, told the New York Times that the word is pronounced âjifâ not âgiffâ. âThe Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft âG,â pronounced âjif.â End of story,â he said.
