It's GIF, With A Hard "G"

RIP Steve Wilhite, who died this week at the age of seventy four. While his name may not be a household word, we're all intimately familiar with his work— he's the man who invented the GIF file.
 

Sadly, his funeral was marred by unruly guest arguing over whether his name should be pronounced "Wil-HEET" or "Wil-HIGHT."
