J and g are almost same

 

[WarriorSoul]

I opt for "yif" to be contrarian.

 

[.Khan Kubrat]

I don't know if I pronounce it with J or G

 

[James T Kirk]

It's gotta be like jiff! This is the way. 

The alternative would be like pronouncing gift without the T

But that's wrong 

 

[Bright Dorne]

GEE-EYE-EFF.

 

[Wojtek Thorn]

What have I done creating this

 

[Sheyra]

I vary it based on whichever bugs the person I'm talking to more, and if they say they don't care I call them 'jeffs'.

 

[Malakai]

I use "I" for image file

The abbreviation is for "Graphics Interchange Format".

The inventor pronounces it "jif" though.

Which means we need to burn the inventor at stake because if you abbreviate "Graphics" and then pronounce it with a "J", you're a heretic.
