"It's JIF, not GIF"

Entry posted

1777 views

Short story. Warsaw is the capital of Poland, and through it runs a major river of Poland; the Vistula. We call them Warsaw and the Vistula, but in Poland they're, phonetically "Varshava" and the "Veeswa". That's what they call them. We don't, though; we anglicised it and made it our own. As far as we're concerned the Polish can call them whatever the hell they like, but we call them Warsaw and the Vistula, and that isn't changing.

The founder of Warsaw stood on a hill somewhere near a trade village next to a large river, and said "This town will henceforth take on the name Varshava, until the end of days."

But we call it Warsaw.

As someone who is a Computer Science major at one of the best CS schools in the world, and who learned about media file types last semester, I can safely say it is pronounced GIF, not JIF
