How do you pronounce the G in graphics, as in graphics interchange format?

How do you say giraffe?
"Graphic" comes from Greek "graphikos" and has always been pronounced like a hard G.

Just because the creator is good with computers doesn't mean he passed English.

I say it with a giant, almost gypsy-like, straight outta the gigantic gym, germ-free, emphasis on the G.

Choosy moms choose jif.

So glad you know some of the words that have a soft g at the front, that also have no relevance to the pronunciation of "graphic"

We're talking about an acronym, not a word in the English dictionary. When applied to phonetic understanding, pronouncing it with a soft G is perfectly acceptable.
Plus, the creator says it with a soft g, so whatevs.

JIF - 
Posted on 4/12/16 at 3:47 pm to LSUTANGERINE
The word that represents G in the acronym is pronounced with a hard G so I've always used Gif and not gonna stop.

For all you hard G folks:
You're all a bunch of Obama loving pinko liberals.

Exactly, the pronunciation of the word graphic has nothing to do with the acronym gif. Saying gif sounds like someone with a lisp or retard trying to gift and failing.

Gif is not pronounced like jif.

How do you pronounce the PH in graphics? What about in Steven with a PH?

Oh, there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin' 'bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out they arse. That's their one, that's their one. Rocky Marciano! Rocky Marciano! Let me tell you something, once and for all-Rocky Marciano was good; but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shite.
Saul: He beat Joe Louis' arse.
Morris: That's right, he did whoop Joe Louis' arse.
Clarence: Joe Louis was 75 years old when they fought.
