Today, I learned how to pronounce GIF
GRAMMAR GUY
Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
I understand if you’re not on Reddit;
after all, it’s quite the opposite of a local
newspaper. However, the online community
of Reddit contains
groups for virtually
any interest, as well
as an unhealthy amount of goofball meme
culture. One of my favorite subreddits (i.e., a
dedicated page to discuss a specific topic)
is “TIL,” which is an initialism for “today I
learned.”
Today, I learned
the acronym “GIF” is
pronounced with a
soft “G” sound, like
in “giraffe.” If I were
commenting on Red-
dit, I would reply with
a “head exploding”
emoji character.
What is a GIF? It’s an animated image
often used online. You’ve probably seen
one posted as a comment on someone’s
Facebook post. You can send them in text
messages. GIFs are everywhere.
I always thought “Jif” was the peanut
butter and “GIF” (with a hard “g”) was the
animated photo file. As it turns out, I have
been wrong for years.
Again, this isn’t new information; the
inventor of the graphics interchange for-
mat (aka GIF) cleared this up all the way

back in 2013, which, in internet terms, is an
eternity.
Steve Wilhite invented the animated GIF
back in 1987. As an employee of Compu-
serve, he was tasked to come up with a
universal file format for animated images.
As many consumers were getting online
for the first time, web content creators em-
braced the file format.
Today, GIFs serve as shorthand language,
similar to how emoji characters dominate
text messages. The images are our version
of low-resolution
moving hieroglyphics.
Digital architects will
scratch their heads
someday as they
examine the bizarre
aspects of our early
21st-century culture.
I still have a hard
time with the soft “G” pronunciation of
“GIF.” The “G” in “GIF” stands for “graphics,”
not “jraphics.” According to both the Oxford
English Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, both the “JIF” and “GIF” pronun-
ciations are acceptable. But the creator
prefers the “J” pronunciation. Who am I to
argue with the creator?
Today I learned I was wrong about how
to say “GIF.” Although I find it uncomfortable
to say “JIF,” I’m going to start doing it. I
don’t like being wrong, so this is a tough
pride pill to swallow. After all, I think being
able to accept correction will help make me
a “jood” person.
Digital architects will scratch
their heads someday as they
examine the bizarre aspects of
our early 21st-century culture.

Provincetown: Where the Pilgrims really landed
Commentary by Don Knebel
Today, our road trip reaches Cape Cod, a
narrow peninsula curving upwardly from
the southeastern corner of
Massachusetts. We will visit
historic Provincetown, where
the so-called “Pilgrims” first landed.
On Sept. 6, 1620, the Mayflower left
Plymouth, England, with 102 passengers,
including 41 “Separatists” (later called “Pil-
grims”) seeking freedom from the Church
of England. Their intended destination was
the English Virginia Colony, established in
1607. But storms blew the 100-foot ship off
course, and it anchored on Nov. 11, 1620,
near the tip of Cape Cod. Because they were
now beyond existing legal authority, 41
male passengers, including non-Separatists,
signed the “Mayflower Compact” while still
onboard, the first American document es-
tablishing a self-governing community. The
passengers then went ashore near what
is now Provincetown. Three expeditions on
a small boat around Cape Cod Bay deter-
mined that what is now Plymouth, Mass.,
would make a suitable settlement site. The
Mayflower then sailed to Plymouth Harbor,
arriving on Dec. 18. The passengers stayed
aboard the ship during the harsh winter.
Although the indigenous Wampanoag aided
them, about half the passengers and crew
died of various diseases before the survi-
vors went on shore in March 1621.
Provincetown, with a population of
about 3,600, is a picturesque resort town,
long known for its liberal and gay-friendly
attitude. Boats along the pier in Province-
town Harbor offer whale sighting trips and
leisurely cruises. Visitors can get a spec-
tacular view of the entire area by climb-
ing to the top of the 252-foot-tall Pilgrim
Monument, erected between 1907 and 1910,
to commemorate the first landfall of the
Mayflower and still the tallest all-granite
structure in the United States. A nearby
museum chronicles the history of Cape Cod.
A stone memorial honors the signing of the
Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor
and includes the text of that document.
Don’t miss Provincetown.
