GIF inventor said that it is pronounced as 'jif'

I pronounce it like that. But everyone says 'gif' so I am alone...

I'm slowly falling in love with pronouncing gif with a Spanish accent... "hif"

Yes it is. It is gif. as in Jif.

I pronounce it like gif, jif and the dutch g gif.

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".

OH MY GOD YOU USED THE WRONG PICTURE FOR THE MEME! See, nobody cares.

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

"Oh boy would you look at that hilarious JAR OF FUCKING PEANUT BUTTER."
Please don't listen to Steve Wilhite.

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.

GUYS IF YOU INVENT SOMETHING YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT
ALSO THE 'U' IN 'SCUBA' STANDS FOR 'UNDERWATER', DO WE PRONOUNCE IT "SCUHBA"?? NO!
