How dare you come here with this blasphemy.
g as in gif
Wrong, it’s pronounced “gif”
g as in gnome
g as in genuine ginormous gendered giraffes gesticulating gingerly
‘G’ as in “Gary my guy, it’s great you have the guts to be wrong again!”
general gibberish
generous genecologically German genies generated gelatinous genitals

I wish it was gnuf
Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.
My opinion, I always use a hard F.
FUCK ALL Y’ALL ‘JIF’ MOTHERFUCKERS
How do you pronounce laser
Hard R
jaser
There are several arguments for why it should be pronounced a given way and OP didn’t say any of them.
I see you just picked your favorite to argue against.
They’ll bend over in a jiffy.

“Gee Eye Eff”
i’ve forgotten most of my IPA so this is really helpful
Enough IPA and I tend to forget things as well.
The only thing I know about this is that it’s unnecessary to start another “internet war” over how someone pronounced terms like this one, since both pronunciation are recognizable (even my friends often spelled in with different results thanks to their accents and our local language too)
Giraffe-ic Interchange Format.
Weird that they don’t have the pronunciation listed for giraffe the same way
Pronounced ‘chief.’
More like Gee-f
Piss off both sides and just spell it. G.I.F.
The notorious G I F
Just say the full name outright: “Graphically Integrated Framework”
I feel like that’s a win for hard G honestly.
But the letter “G” has a soft “g” in its pronunciation. Otherwise, you’re talking about clarified butter.
The letter G is pronounced Jee, with a J sound. Not Gee
Why do they list an incorrect pronunciation?
To stop the edit wars.
Also the creator of the format attempted to troll people by saying it’s officially pronounced “jiff”, and it’s taken as truth by the gullible and the people who believe that if you create something, you should be able to control what people call it (even if it defies logic).
*“Jeff”
