Cheryl Matson of the Pratt Fine Arts Center works on a portable flame working station to demonstrate how to make a glass fish before diving into other courses held at the center. Cheryl Matson took a break from the Roger Parramore class I attended to appear on a Seattle morning show. Great class and great teaching assistant.

Recently it has become trendy to pronounce the CompuServe image file format GIF
as gift without the ‘t’.
The inventor of the file format, Steve Wilhite, pronounces it as Jiff, like the peanut butter.
“The creators of the format pronounced GIF as “jif” with a soft “G” /ˈdʒɪf/ as in “gin”. Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say “Choosy developers choose GIF”, spoofing this brand’s television commercials.”
I don’t know why some Gen Xers and Millennials insist everyone pronouncing it like the peanut butter is wrong, you know who you are Cris Hardwick @hardwick.
