Not with a J sound, so not like Jod
 
I say it like jif how it was intended to be said. I've been saying it like that since back in 96 when shit like this was the only gifs on the internet:

skull.gif


babyjatt.gif


under_const.4.gif
 
I say gif with a hard g because the g stands for graphic.

And yes, I know the man who created gifs says it "jif" but he's wrong. Smart dude, but not good at naming his creations
 
If you're saying it with a hard G, you better be talking about peanut butter.
 
Dude who created it uses the soft "G" so...
 
Grammatically it should be a G sounds like gift but the kid that created is not a native English speaker so he thinks its JIFF. I say it like gift.
Why is that grammatically correct? What about general or gemstone? Or if your referring to words which start with a g-i, what about Gin?
