I may sound haughty and knowledgable when I say JiF then, but between just you and me, I didn’t know a damn thing about this and just decided to say it this way in my brain for reasons that remain unclear.
Oooh, that’s how grammar works in English language? Okay, so me as a developer of some obscure thing from this point forward are instructing everyone to pronounce “home” as “hume”, since that’s how you pronounce “o” in “tomb”. I decided that solely because my software is loosely related to the meaning of the word. K thx bai.
Neither did the author of graphic format. GIF is not a word, but initialism, like NSA, FBI, NASA, IBM, etc. And there are specific rules how they are read and pronounced.
I always think all the arguments are ridiculous because it’s essentially saying that someone is pronouncing a product (not a word) that they created incorrectly. This product even has a catchphrase for it. There’s literally nothing you can say to contradict that. It’s a product with a catchphrase that describes how to pronounce it. If you pronounce it differently then you do you, but you are wrong.
It’s also pretty funny when it’s about actual product you will get corrected to the intended pronunciation, or at least, allowed because people acknowledge there might be multiple way of reading a word based on where you from. Like potato and tomato.
My giant giraffe agrees.
If you’re still unconvinced, say “G”
The letter starts with the J sound.
Checkmate atheists.

Me too. I just always said it with a soft G because my brain told me that’s how it was pronounced.
Strange that I never got a notification for this. Hm.
I’ve always pronounced it that way for whatever reason, and when I learned that was the correct way I was very high and mighty, lol

Wait till you hear about ghoti…
Did you invent the word home? No? So you don’t get to decide how to pronounce it.

Oh yeah? Well lick my gargantuan gorilla gonads.
(I’m actually team jif but can’t help myself)
Was it a gift?
Yeah, from a gyrating genie named George.
Jorge wants to have a word with you.
What does horhay want?
“Hiff”
Yes but actually no
Good god Gordon go gag a gator
Life is all about jif and dake.

Now you’re just getting crazy
