Gouda. Americans can't say gouda, at all. Brits can't say it either, but they're less wrong.

How is it pronounced? I always pronounce it "Goo-Dah"

Like "how-da", as in "Gouda hell do Americans get it so wrong????"

Interesting, unfortunately I will always call it goodah because if I ask the grocery clerk where the howda is they'll just be confused.

I know the creator of the gif says it is pronounced like jif, but does he really get to decide that? I prefer gif, but I think jif is still technically considered correct? I don't know, but it's annoying.

I don't think he gets to decide how its pronounced, he made a file format with an acronym using the English language. The 'G' stands for graphical which is a hard 'G' sound, which means 'gif' should be pronounced with a hard 'G', just because he's a douchebag swede doesn't mean everyone needs to pronounce the acronym with a retarded swedish accent.
