Been around computers since around the time of the Tandy TSR-80. When the GIF extension was created I then and forever will pronounce it like I would say Guitar . My name is Geoff (pronounced Gee-Awf), by the way.
I'll just leave this here: https://time.com/5791028/how-to-pronounce-gif/
February 2020:
Online GIF site GIPHY teamed up with Jif peanut butter to have some fun with the debate. The two companies unveiled a limited-edition jar of peanut butter in Jif’s trademark packaging, but labeled “Gif”. While some may think the packaging implies that GIF and Jif rhyme, according to the two companies—and a series of accompanying GIFs on GIPHY—the opposite is true.
“At Giphy, we know there’s only one ‘Jif’ and it’s peanut butter,” Alex Chung, founder and CEO of Giphy said in a press release about the campaign. “If you’re a soft G, please visit Jif.com. If you’re a hard G, thank you, we know you’re right.” That’s right: according to Giphy, GIF is pronounced with a hard G, unlike Jif the peanut butter.
Is that the end of it? Probably not.
I'll take my leave now...
Those are really cool NALDOL (nicely animated little dots of light).
Probably just me, but my head twists one degree clockwise permanently and my life is shortened by one month whenever people argue about pronunciation. Like why should you care? If you get the gist of what the word means, why bother discussing how it's pronounced?
Sorry, English teacher here, and I just have to reply.
Pronunciation matters because if you mispronounce some words, people literally will not know what you mean. Also, there are some words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently and mean two very different things. Pasties (rhyming with "nasties") are meat pies in a pastry crust, originating from the UK. Pasties (rhyming with "tasties") are small adhesives worn by exotic dancers to cover their nipples.
If you go into a London pub and ask for the wrong pasties, you might have a bad experience.
also me think why waste time say lot word, when few do trick
It matters, but only up to a point. We Brits experience a lot of different accents, all pronouncing words a bit differently, but still generally understand what everyone means. That's exaggerated even more when you work with people from across the globe as I do. I'm not going to 'correct' people every time they pronounce something differently but I still understood what they meant. What would be the point? They successfully communicated what they wanted to communicate, which is all that really matters in the end.
In your pasties example getting the wrong sound for the 'a' matters because it changes the interpretation, but people will know exactly what you mean whichever of the 2 common pronunciations of gif you use. For all intents and purposes both pronunciations are correct since they both achieve the same thing (heck, they even both trigger people trying to be pedantic in favour of the other option :P). It's only a matter of time before 'gif' joins 'scone' as a word with 2 fully accepted pronunciations that people will argue over just for the fun of it.
Im amazed that we're having a discussion about pronunciation here, in an article about internet stickers.
The correct pronunciation according to the creator is 'jif', with a soft g. It was a deliberate move to mirror the peanut butter brand jif, and before someone asks why isn't it just spelled jif then, the reason is because GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format.
But ultimately its just language, where meaning is more important than the spoken word itself. As long as the other party understands what it is, we'll happily let language professors debate this impending armageddon amongst themselves
This article was definitely made to spark this debate. XD
I do hope you realize that all of this is just some friendly banter between the community. I highly doubt that most people here are taking any of it seriously.
If we are going with jif, then the site is jiphy?
Sadly, as a Spanish native speaker, I have just one way to pronounce it, I use the same sound you would use in Guitar.
1) I applaud you for using the correct pronunciation of gif.
2) Anduin does not have an animated gif (at least not as a solo hero like the others here). This makes me sad.
Wow they made one of Kibler. Cool!
I don´t know, Flux is goking, right?
(btw, I love how this simple article about silly jifs simply turned out with people arguing about grammar. WP XD)
Hey Flux you gonna go watch Juardians of the Jalaxy later on? Hope you get many jifts for your birthday. You jonna jo home then, pet your jolden retriever, feed your jolden fish? Jrab some jarlic bread, eat it with jround beef!?
Nah, I think he'll just go to the zoo and see some giraffes. Hopefully he won't get lost on the way there, but I think his geography skills are pretty decent. Then he'll probably go home and drink a glass of gin.
Geography and giraffe comes from french as borrowed words and thus copy the french pronunciation. Gin is a shortening of genever which comes from dutch which comes from old french too (genevre), which is itself a translation of the latin juniper.
If you love the french so much i'll await your white flag.
If we're going by languages, I'm Romanian, and we pretty much always pronounce 'gi' as 'ji' (within our language). And you can't exactly use that logic with GIF since it's an acronym, so you should pronounce each letter individually. Also, let's not pretend English has any consistency within itself.

Yep! :)
Bună seara dragă :)
English is indeed very inconsistent. But the general consensus is always Gif then some stubborn person shows up, says it's Jif, and a debate sparks up. Plus Gif is consistent with G from graphics, so at least it strives for consistence.
ps: dacă cumva pronunţi "memeuri" te bat >:(
