OldOllie is right. GIF should be pronounced like in "gift". I'm not going to start talking like a retard just because everyone else around me happens to be. |

Screw 'em, it's GIF with a hard G sound for three reasons: 1) over 90% of English words that start with "gi" have a hard G sound, 2) the G in GIF stands for "graphic," which has a hard G sound, and 3) pronouncing GIF with a hard G sound is vastly more popular in common usage and has been for nearly a quarter century.
If you hear anyone pronounce it "JIF," you should laugh at them, insult them, and then beat them unmercifully until they swear never to do it again. |
