the inventor of gifs clearly stated it was pronounced "jif" like the peanut butter.
"jif" is therefore more accurate.

I hold 'em, you punch 'em!
It's pronounced "cat."

I always like to see this argument, that somehow mispronouncing the word "graphics" means people should mispronounce other words.
it has an "I can't see you, so you can't see me" vibe.
its always been pronounced "jraphics"
this gives me a great idea. thank you.
You are right, I absolutely agree.
haha, look at you, letting people sleep
Actually, it's a Norwegian G, so the correct pronunciation would be "Yiff"
inaccurate and very satisfying.
Fun fact,
.pngfiles are pronounced "ping."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG
Also, here's this wonderful site that lays out practically every argument for GIF's pronunciation as "jif," just for fun.
HAHA, oh man, good find. That is a very funny little essay.
I've always said "ping", didn't know there was a debate there as well.
Thanks.
There's no debate at all. /fr
Lets hold our hands together and touch some grass.
haha, I'm always curious about the people who use the phrase "touch grass".
I never use it, and I'm outside all the time, so my intuition is that people who use the phrase actually stay inside a lot.
what do you think?
That may be true
hahhah, I could never fight with Kurtwood watching.
everyone knows it's prononced yiff
oh...ja!
I pronounce it both ways. Sometimes I will even use one pronunciation over the other because it angers the person I am speaking with.
you are walking the true path.
I absolutely brought it up for giggles.
I hope you're pronouncing that as "jiggles" :D
haha, thank you I have updated my lexicon.
God it feels good to be factually correct.
