[Ads-l] On GIF

[Benjamin Barrett]

Making her platform position clear, Hilary Clinton declares that GIF is pronounced with a hard “g” sound (okay, she simply pronounced the word). Also Mike Rugnetta offers an alternative in a video in a rundown of the issues. He also notes that it was Ollier, not Shaw, who came up with “ghoti” and mentions Poe’s Law.
