Apparently jiff, but it will always be gif

It's GRAPHIC interchange format, not JRAPHIC interchange format. So GIF with a G that's harder than my boner.

There are soft g's all throughout the English lexicon. They aren't making an exception, you just don't know how to read.

>>61609537
You're thinking of an initialism; an acronym is pronounced like a word. Both are a type of abbreviation.

Pronunciations are correct according to how the majority use them. In the past in English something like "knife" was pronounced "kuh-nife"

Because most people pronounce it "gif" and not like the peanut butter "jiff" that means "gif" is correct

The same way as you would pronounce "giraffe".
If your only argument to pronounce it otherwise is
>durr but it stands for GRAPHICS interchange format
then you should look up what acronyms are about. But because you're retarded I'll simplify it for you right here: acronyms are new words and their pronunciation doesn't need to reflect the words they are made out of. For example: scuba.

gentoo is name after the fastest swimming penguin (because linux), and it is pronounced jentoo
>>
>>61608770
It was originally pronounced "jiff", until most people began coming across it in text, at which point the pronunciation began to shift to "gif".

I still say "jiff", because that's what I'm used to and it never causes confusion, but the most popular pronunciation is definitely "gif" at this point.
>>
>>61609666
English words meanings is based more into its context than anything else. GIF comes from Graphics Interchange Format. So by context it can't be jiff and I don't give a single fuck what the creator says.

The pronounciation key lists both pronounciations, as it should, since both are common, and "correct" is descriptive not prescriptive on English.

It's obviously gif

How do you pronounce the "g" in "giraffe"?
The pronunciation of an acronym is not necessarily derived from the words that make up the acronym, as the acronym becomes its' own word when you pronounce it as such.
