Nah gift has the "guh" sound. Giraffe and Giant have the "juh" sound.

If the g in gif stood for giraffe is would be said “jif” but it stands for graphics, so it’s “gif”

My point was that gift wants to know why it's pronounced the way it is bet gif should be pronounced the other way. lol

I use both

I meant in excess.

It's probably one of those things that we figure out in our head when we are a kid and our mind is blown when we get older and learn the right way.
For the longest time I called a "bouquet" a "banquet". I still have to catch myself when the kids bring me a bunch of flowers I want to call it a banquet.

My nephew, who is 23 by the way, just realized a few months ago that unleaded gas was pronounced unleaded not unleeded, with a long e

Yes, exactly like that!

If you shouted at me like that, I'd hurl them with extreme force in the direction of your screaming pie hole.

Too bad the owners of the corporation say you're wrong. Like how the man who made gif thinks everyone that says jif (like the jif in Jiffy peanut butter) is a moron.

I pronounce gifs with the letters. I actually say g i f. That way I'm not wrong

Well I guess it depends how you pronounce graphics

If the g in gif stood for giraffe is would be said “jif” but it stands for graphics, so it’s “gif”

You can dig in on this all you want.

June 1987:​

Steve Wilhite releases the Graphics Interchange Format, or GIF, while working for Compuserve. He called it a GIF with a soft g. “Choosy developers,“ he reportedly said, “choose JIF.” This was of course a play on the peanut butter brand Jif’s line “choosy mothers choose Jif.”"

May 2013:​

Wilhite receives a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Webby Awards and used his platform to make his declaration. “It’s pronounced JIF, not GIF.” Just like the peanut butter. “The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations,” Wilhite told The New York Times. “They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.” But it’s not so simple."
