It's an acronym though... Graphic Image Format. You don't say Jraphic Image Format. Why say JIF?

so how do you pronounce laser? laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. but the s is pronounces as a Z and Honestly these arguments for both sides are dumb. "gif is like gift so it should be hard g" "most g words with an i after it have soft g like gin and giraffe" There are so many exceptions to normal "english pronunciation rules" that it's stupid to say how a new word must be pronounced based on certain rules. Words should be pronounced how they've been generally agreed to be pronounced. At this point people really shouldn't criticized on how to pronounce this word since some words can have multiple pronunciations like the word "either"

I see your point but because I pronounce laser like lay-sir I am going to opt to ignore it and say that it isn't jif because it makes absolutely no sense to say it that way.

Here is the end all, be all proof that gif is pronounced with a hard "G" sound.

You're welcome.

Edit: Also the creator is an illiterate nerd and he's wrong. This is addressed on the site I linked <3.

Why are people bothered so much about it being Gif or Jif? [zombie-brand-mindblown] If you understands what they meant then hell they can call it whatever they want.

Because they said it wrong...

But is it really something that needs to start a fight for?
