    You can either promote JPEG-XL or say yiff for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.

      I love seeing people mention JPEG-XL in the wild, I wish it was implemented in more programs and websites too. JPEG-XL was always the superior image file format. I’m sorry if facts hurt the feelings of the webp-Kings, but them’s the facts. And I will dig my own grave on this hill. Good day!

          Basically my intro to improved jpg is the Library of Congress Sanborn insurance maps. Either download and archive a 300MB TIFF or a 20 something MB JPG2000.

          GIMP is a fine viewer for me, but it is incredible

        One problem: it’s Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg… I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.

          your logic is flawed

          It isn’t, really. There’s no rule or other logical reason to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent. In which case you would have to start every phone call with “ahoy-hoy” like Mr Burns since that’s what Bell proposed.

          It kinda is. Unless you have a REALLY good reason not to, you pronounce the letters in the same way as you would if you were saying the whole word.

          There is no such reason in this case.

            No it isn’t, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.

          Gif stands for “graphics interchange format”, or a graphics card. You don’t call it a jraphics card or a yraphics card.

            Joint Photographic Expert Group. Do you pronounce the image format Jfeg?

            I agree it’s hard g gif, but your logic is flawed.

              I wonder which order of discovery would be the least preposterous for the two things to be connected: finding out about the exercise fad at my semi-weekly training sesh with Gary or getting the idea of giraffe ownership from today’s hot new animal imitation workout 🤔
