Fun fact, .png files are pronounced "ping."

Also, here's this wonderful site that lays out practically every argument for GIF's pronunciation as "jif," just for fun.

HAHA, oh man, good find. That is a very funny little essay.

I've always said "ping", didn't know there was a debate there as well.

Thanks.

There's no debate at all. /fr

Lets hold our hands together and touch some grass.

haha, I'm always curious about the people who use the phrase "touch grass".

I never use it, and I'm outside all the time, so my intuition is that people who use the phrase actually stay inside a lot.

what do you think?

That may be true
