            JIF is a different file format, so the creator is an idiot for pronouncing GIF as jif.

                No it’s not, it’s an acronym. And the majority of people pronounce it smartly as gif, not jif. The fact I have to type jif to clear up the crap pronunciation is just evidence as to why it is pronounced as gif.

        I don’t think anyone really thinks gif is pronounced ‘jif’.

        They just pretend they do, to wind people up and for attention.

          It’s how I’ve always pronounced it though. For decades. I don’t really care if it riles people up because it feels weird af saying it the other way. Also, the creators say it’s jif so it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks that’s just what it is lol

            I’m willing to let people say it however they want without harassment. But when they bring up the “But this guy says its this way, so it has to be true” that I get tetchy.

            Things live beyond their creators. This is especially true in the internet age, where information (and misinformation) travel faster than comprehension.

              I said the literal creator calls them that. That’s a pretty far cry from just some guy. None of us have to like it because that’s just how it be sometimes

            But JIF is another file format (JPEG interchange format), so the creator was stupid to say GIF is pronounced as jif.

    EITHER PRONOUNCIATION IS FINE AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER THEY’RE PLURAL!
