Subject: atw: Is 'GIF format' a pleonasm?

Hello, I recently subscribed to austechwriter and thereafter I have been
silently amused by the degree of fastidiousness. I have been very
entertained!

I have two questions: considering GIF is an acronym for Graphics
Interchange Format, is 'GIF format' a redundant phrase? If so, is the
phrase 'JPEG format' technically correct? 

Regards,

Jessica Kloiber-Deane.
