You can say your name is pronounced "Jimmy" and the rest of us can say "Bundle of Sticks". Good to know.

I am both a tech nerd and an editor, and this is the root of deep inner conflict that drives me to drink.
"Choosy developers choose GIF." -- this little catch phrase is literally the only reason those closest to it adopted the soft G pronunciation, and without the existence of that Jif peanut butter slogan, better judgement would prevail over the pronunciation of GIF.
Overall, I lean more towards "The creator is linguistically wrong, but he should have some authority over its official pronunciation. However, I will continue to pronounce it with a hard G because there's nothing stopping me."

It was "JIF" before probably half of the snot noses on this board were born.

If there are linguistic rules, which I'm not sure there are, they'd favor Jif. Linguistic rules is a dumb argument and we've proven time and time again as Americans that the we don't give a shite about "linguistic rules", anyway. It's fricking Jif.

Anyone who uses a hard G sounds like a fool.

It's not just Americans. It's everyone, who speaks any human language, ever. Languages are constantly evolving.

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

How do you pronounce the G in graphics, as in graphics interchange format
Only dickheads know what gif stands for, so y'all can say "gif", the rest of us will say jif

Using the excuse that 'graphical' has a hard G is akin to saying you pronounce NATO with a soft A or pronouncing Atlantic as Ay-tlantic.

Actually, that raises a good point. It's a goddamned acronym. We phoneticize acronyms for fluidity's sake in speech, but much like the evolution of language, the most understood pronunciation is usually nothing more than a matter of popularity.

Well thats it. I guess its time to grab your weapon of choice. I am ready to go to war over this one

Of course it is. It's not even an issue over which reasonable minds could differ. If you say gif, you're either dumb, ignorant, or both.
This.
It's not a debate, it's settled science.

We already had the peanut butter.
On the other hand, "GIF" is almost gift.

Actually, that is a wrong fake accent by Walter Koenig. Russians have a letter "V" and it leads off super popular Russian words like Vodka (and their word for "water" is the same as Vodka, just minus the K). What they don't have and a letter/sound they do have trouble with is "w".
True story.
