Gif as in gift. Anything else is nonsense!

Giraffes? Giraffes!

Ever seen a geriatric geologist named George at the gym? How about a giant ginger giraffe drunk on gin. What about a genderless genealogist cutting generic gems?
Sure, but JIF is a different file format, so pronouncing it as "jif" just creates overlap.
Also every single one of those G's should be replaced with the letter J; English needs spelling reform.
Also also, GIF stands for Graphical Interchange Format, and that's definitely a G sound.
By the way, the format can't die soon enough. PNG and video formats are more compact and better quality too. Time to bury this zombie.
Combinations of letters before and after change the pronunciation of certain parts of a word. None of your words have "gif" pronounced a "jif". If you have one, tell me. I'm seriously curious if there is a word. As of now the only reference I have is "gift" with a hard g.
That's a retarded argument.

Jift?
Jirl?
Illogical!
