Absolutely. I also like the idea of telling a (possibly lifelong) blind person that something is 'pink' – as if that helps.

Like others have said, diff. people pronounce things diff. ways. I always pronounce it as the first letter of the word is said in the word. GIF = Graphics Interchange Format, so it would be pronounced with a hard "G" b/c "graphics" is pronounced with a hard "G". Just my preference.

"Also, the abbreviation comes from "Graphics" which is pronounced with a hard-G, so it just makes more sense to me. In other words, I don't really care what the GIF inventors said it should be. IMHO, they're wrong (in so, so many ways)"Well put. Not to mention that there are other file formats that would more appropriately use the "J" sound. Like .JIFF or .JIF.

Didier Grossemy says, this can be a distinct competitive advantage for you... meaning converting or not and of course getting a return on your investment.Step #1. Ask yourself a few questions * Why are you building a website or landing page? <a class="user" href="http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Grossemy_Didier_32456701.aspx">http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Grossemy_Didier_324 ...</a> * What will be your expected conversions? 1. E-commerce ? adding an item to a shopping cart and beginning the checkout process. 2. Lead generation ? filling out a registration form to accept an offer (generally free) with the implicit understanding that this may lead someday to a sale. 3. Branding/education ? spending a significant amount of time examining and/or interacting with content on the site that the Home page is a gateway for 4. Relationship ? opting-in to receive communications from the brand/publisher on an ongoing basis. 5. Membership ? registering to actively use the site on an ongoing basis in exchange for either payment, an implied agreement to view advertising, or to allow one's activity data to be measured. 6. Viral ? telling personal and professional contacts about the Home page, perhaps via an email tool, blog links, word-of-mouth, etc.<a class="user" href="http://grossemy.typepad.com/">http://grossemy.typepad.com/</a>
