I feel like that is the way it should be pronounced. Anytime someone says it the other way I correct them

Its "Graphics Interchange Format" so you'd think it would be a hard G.

I pronounce it like gif not like jif, because jif reminds me of the peanut butter.

1. The inventor of the GIF is a programmer, not a lnguist, and can therefore fornicate with himself.
2. It's "Graphics Interface Format" not "Giraffe Interface Format".

i dont care what the inventor says. gif stands for graphic interface format. "graphic" starts with a hard G sound. therefore it is gif and not jif

well this is on the featured page so the FS creators obviously agree with the fact that it should be pronounced with a hard G.
