minus-squareKichae@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 months agoGIF is pronounced GIF not because the G stands for Graphical, but because it is its essence. It is what is calls out to be… Called. And because it’s not peanut butter. And for the same reason, JPEG is pronounced JFEG not because the P stands for Photographic, but because that is the expression of its true essence. I just didn’t know it before today. Justice for JΦEG!
