Graphics Interchange Format. Graphics. Not Jraphics.

That’s not how acronyms as words works. AIDS isn’t pronounced “Uh-ids” like the A in acquired.

Letters are pronounced differently in acronyms than in the original words all the time. Take POTUS, for example; the O and U are not the sounds in "of" or "United".
