Jif is what I have always used.................Comment

Since its an acronym for 'graphics interchange format' - pronounce the G the same way you would in 'graphics'.
Simple, really.Comment

The debate was resolved more than a year ago. It was on various news outlets. Jiff is the proper pronunciation.

Every time someone pronounces it "jiff" a puppy dies. No one who actually works with graphics in the real world calls it a jiff. I'm sure however there are lots of work-from-home outsourcer types would have never actually used or heard it in spoken language with large clients who might erroneously use it without actually looking at what it's an acronym for. Regardless of what the sub moronic creators thought about trying to make a hard G in graphics irrationally soft, it comes across as not knowing what you're talking about.. like walking into a coffee shop and asking for an "expresso".Comment
