Lets talk about Gifs. How Do you Pronounce the word?

[bufu]

Anybody ever used this word IRL? (pronounced Earl)

 

[SumBlackguyz]

[Huellz Santana]

the g in gif stands for graphics so I use a hard g sound like GANGSTA to pronounce GIF​

 

[StreetDawah]

[ikbm]

the correct pronunciation is jif.
yal just some ignorant nikkas.

It's pronounced like "jif". Period. The end. That's final. End of story.

You disagree? Hey, I'm just quoting the inventors of the format. Here's the evidence:

CompuServe used to distribute a graphics display program called CompuShow. In the documentation for version 8.33 in the FAQ section, it states:

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), pronounced "JIF", was designed by CompuServe and the official specification released in June of 1987.

There, straight from the inventors of the format.
