does it really matter? as long as you passed third grade reading comprehension you can use context from the conversation to understand that the person is talking about a moving image instead of a peanut butter brand.
I say it with a soft G. Fight me.
Gif stands for "Graphics Interchange Format". If it were pronounced "jif", it would be "Jraphics Interchange Format".
It is a Graphics Card, not a Jraphics Card!
Do you pronounce Sim, Vin, and pin like sime, vine, and pine? The I for all of them stand for identification, so you have to stress the i.
What about ICE? The C stands for customs, you must pronounce it like "ike". Or do you pronounce customs as sustoms?

This always attracts pedants whining "the creator said to pronounce it like jif!" and it's like, OK, A) That's an appeal to authority, one of the best known logical fallacies B) The creator of Mother's Day spent over 30 years trying to get people to stop celebrating it, but too bad, I'm still gonna wish my Mom a happy Mother's Day, you know?
I won tell you you're wrong just don't say I'm wrong for saying with a soft g.
^^^this. Nobody is "wrong". Say it how you want to. Either way is fine. But get all cocky and tell me I'm wrong for using a soft g and you better be able to defend that assertion, because I've heard every argument for why a hard g is the only correct way to say it and they're all bs.

This is why I pronounce it jif, a gif is about 5 seconds or even up to about a minute in length. (originally)
it takes a short amount of time to watch from start to finish, so its "done in a jiffy." not a giffy.
Lmao I dunno why but I find the bird puppet and jod combo hilarious.
