Gif is pronounced Jif.
There is simply no reason otherwise. Did you know that when G meets an I, it is a grammatically correct choice to make it soft? Like giant, gist, ginger, and giraffe? So, incidentally, Gif can legitimately be pronounced Jif and Gif. Its just how the word is created that decides which. But, the creator of the format says it is Jif. And just like giraffe, we must follow that choice because he created the word. We do not pronounce giraffe with a hard G because that is not how the word was created. You must be able to see it. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Why? Why do you people persist? |

I'm still going to call it gif. You don't call someone who's name is Gilbert "Jilbert".

Omg lol. We had this discussion on Skype earlier and had everyone take an accent test. This was brought up and almost everyone said .jif. This sort of stuff confuses me so much >_<

*Mind Blown* Well when I mention file types I just pronounce the lettering so it doesn't really effect me. Good to know though. :p |

I said "Gif" as in "Jiffy Pop" before it was cool.

I'm still going to pronounce it "gif". "Jif" sounds dumb imo.
