How do you pronounce GIF?

So one of my friends brought up an interesting topic this morning. He said that GIF was pronounced with a short j sound, while I thought it was with a short g sound. So I ask you flood, how do you pronounce GIF?

  • Soft g, like the peanut butter. Sorry, but the creator gets to name it, and he pronounces it that way. It is also correct according to the English language to be pronounced that way. Here's some examples: giraffe, giant. Both have soft g's. And just because it stands for graphics doesn't mean that's how it's pronounced, if you take every letter in an acronym and make it so that it sounds like the word it stands for, half of the acronyms we have wouldn't make sense. For example, FUBAR would be pronounced "fuh-bear."
