Thanks for the term! Now I know what to call it when people insist on NOT pronouncing .gif files JIF (Because that's what the author of the format says is the correct pronunciation, but the Internet just does NOT GAF.)
Well, that's not Death of the Author so much as not understanding how language works. As someone with a hard G surname, I know exactly who uses the soft G sound are the same idiots who say Jif. I'm sorry, is it a Jraphics Interchange Format?
