People who call it a "Jif" need to be taken out behind the woodshed and shot. GIF! Fuck Wilhite. It's an acronym. Pronouncing it any way other than with a hard G is indefensible.   |

I actually don't care, but more often use a hard g since that seems more common, and it wasn't like it was descended from some Greco-latinate root word where you would use the soft g before e, i or y.
Add gynecology to the list with gigawatt.
Oh and it clearly isn't "jif" because that is JPEG Interchange Format, a different file type.

This is fun.
For what it's worth, I don't actually care - and I used to say GIF, with the hard G.
Then I saw the creator of them called it JIF and since it isn't a word, and as such, not necessarily bound by any particular laws of language - I changed my position.
Unless we're not doing the thing anymore where the person who invents something also gets to name it...?
In which case, GIF!

The origin of my internet name =) (not this particular scene of course)  On topic: I don't know about GIF or Jiff but since I am a badass MF I have to go with the HARD pronounciation. On a sided note however, I know that it is checks and not kecks. So there's that.  |

It's Jif. If no-one bats an eye at Jesus being pronounced "Hey-Zeus" in Spanish, surely Gif can be pronounced with a J. Or if we stick solely to English examples, how about Gin, Gentleman or Jijawatt? Or Pigeon, if Jijawatt was too contentious? English has always been an arbitrary clusterfuck of consonants that don't know what to do with themselves, so I say take full advataj. Everyone can sit and spin on their hard G's. |

This is still unresolved and therefore must come from the depths of the dark abyss to the front page.

The necromancy is getting a bit ridiculous now  I'd disagree. I've seen worse. Much worse. This is barely a touch over nostalgia. |

One of the most important debates of our time, and one of the few which will inspire me to officially cast my vote!
The g in gif stands for "graphic," which is a hard "g." If we ever start to pronounce it "jraphic," we can revisit the issue.
