it drives me nuts when I hear people pronouncing it two diffrent ways, what's the proper ponunciation of the company?
and another thing that i always hear two versions of is GIF
is it a soft G or hard G?

And for gif, its commonly accepted both way in the industry, personally I say it like gift. . .

Jiff is peanuit butter Gif is a web graphic.

it doesn't really matter actually because it's just an acronym for graphics interchange format or something like that....

I think everyone should think of a new name. I mean seriously - how stale and BORING have these words gotten!? Using them everyday they just lost their PUNCH! Why not invent a new word? Better yet - what about a new word every week!!
Could you export me that goolerwook from whackwok 10_000?

Thats a peeve of mine too, when you call photoshop , adobe, you're clearly pointing out your lack of professionality...

What about SWF?
I've always said S-W-F, pronouncing the individual letters.
And some say it like Swiff.
I hate that.
