The g in gif stands for "graphics" which is pronounced with a hard g, therefore so is gif. If it stood for "giraffe intercourse failure" then sure, pronounce it "jif".

If gif is pronounced jif then gift would be pronounced jift, but gift is not pronounced that way and the creator died a stubborn old fool who refused to admit his stupidity. Now he's a ghost who wanders aimlessly while screaming "IT'S PRONOUNCED JIF" but no one can hear him.

Excuse me. You're pronouncing "gif" wrong, it's pronounced "gif", not "gif".

In order to satisfy both sides of the controversy, I've decided that I will start pronouncing it "ggif" - or sometimes, if I feel like it, "ggif".

Tarkus posted:It's an acronym, you can pronounce it however you want. I pronounce it gif probably because that's how it looks and JIF is already taken by "Jraphics Interchange Format" Cerebral Mayhem posted:The g in gif stands for "graphics" which is pronounced with a hard g, therefore so is gif. If it stood for "giraffe intercourse failure" then sure, pronounce it "jif". These make a solid case, and Cerebral Mayhem even has a gif for an av, so he should know. I'm going to keep pronouncing it with a hard 'g',  to one of the jiants of computer history. He jave us the GIF!

I always had it as "gif", not "jiff" in my head as a kid, then I looked up what it meant and the G stands for "Graphics", so I always thought "jiff" pronunciation was stupid. Jiff also just feels extremely, extremely reddit to me.

He should have recorded a gif of the precise moment his spirit departed his broken body and revealed that it actually means ghost interchange format and now all gifs (gives) are cursed.
