g as in gif
Wrong, it’s pronounced “gif”
g as in genuine ginormous gendered giraffes gesticulating gingerly
‘G’ as in “Gary my guy, it’s great you have the guts to be wrong again!”
general gibberish
generous genecologically German genies generated gelatinous genitals

g as in gnome
I wish it was gnuf
How dare you come here with this blasphemy.
Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.
My opinion, I always use a hard F.
wow, they used to use the hard F on Family guy?
FUCK ALL Y’ALL ‘JIF’ MOTHERFUCKERS
How do you pronounce laser
Hard R
jaser
There are several arguments for why it should be pronounced a given way and OP didn’t say any of them.
I see you just picked your favorite to argue against.
They’ll bend over in a jiffy.
Pronounced ‘chief.’
More like Gee-f
Okay, so like a GIF Wrangler
Like Ask Jeeves but with a ffff
Piss off both sides and just spell it. G.I.F.
The notorious G I F
I feel like that’s a win for hard G honestly.
But the letter “G” has a soft “g” in its pronunciation. Otherwise, you’re talking about clarified butter.
The letter G is pronounced Jee, with a J sound. Not Gee
GIF
“Gee Eye Eff”
I got real self righteous there for a second, but i see they included the wrong pronunciation as well
Why do they list an incorrect pronunciation?
To stop the edit wars.
Also the creator of the format attempted to troll people by saying it’s officially pronounced “jiff”, and it’s taken as truth by the gullible and the people who believe that if you create something, you should be able to control what people call it (even if it defies logic).
*“Jeff”
I agree that the manner this was presented at the 2013 Webbys, which kickstarted the debate, was jokingly, but the specifications have always recommended “jiff” since the format’s inception, though also a bit jokingly:
Wilhite and the team who developed the file format included in the technical specifications that the acronym was to be pronounced with a soft g. In the specifications, the team wrote that “choosy programmers choose … ‘jif’”, in homage to the peanut butter company Jif’s advertising slogan of “choosy moms choose Jif”.[3]
Giraffe-ic Interchange Format.
Weird that they don’t have the pronunciation listed for giraffe the same way
Are they always wrong though?

well okay i guess i’ll send the cookout invitation to OOP then
That’s okay I’m more into Haskell nowadays.
i mean if you came we could throw a Haskell on the barbie. sorry friend, buddies only at the cookout.
i’ve forgotten most of my IPA so this is really helpful
Enough IPA and I tend to forget things as well.
The only thing I know about this is that it’s unnecessary to start another “internet war” over how someone pronounced terms like this one, since both pronunciation are recognizable (even my friends often spelled in with different results thanks to their accents and our local language too)
I first read that as a hitman image format.
Me on mobile: Huh, interesting…
