Australian here, I say Gif, not Jif.

I say Gif!!! If I would hear somebody saying "Jif" I would probably laugh at him

Choosy moms choose gif. That's how I say it and I won't change.

TO THOSE WHO SAY IT AS GIF (like gift), READ 'EM AND WEAP.

From that site:

The Graphics File Formats FAQ states the following:
The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), pronounced "JIF", was designed by CompuServe and the official specification released in June of 1987.

I worked with the creator of GIF (Steve Wilhite) when I was still employed by CompuServe. Steve always pronounced it "jiff" and would correct those who pronounced it with a hard G.

Makes sense to be correctly pronounced as Jif.
I say Gif though. But i also say J-Peg (which makes sense).

It's definately Jif, which is clearly how it was meant to say.

Better correct your pronunciation you Gif'rs. Because its WRONG! :D

I'm a Jay-Peg'r as well.

I pronounce it "gif" -because thats how I would say it in spanish- even though I believe the correct is "jif"

I've always pronounced it "jif."

Well, for anyone who isn't retarded, the letter g in the English language has two pronunciations. (guh and juh)

For anyone who thinks jpeg could even remotely sound like gpeg would have to be mentally challenged.

I'll make this a whole lot easier. Remember our wonderful friend the giraffe? Well, last time I checked, it was pronounced with a j sound.

I'm sorry if I am going out on a rant here. I was just responding to pepijnnuland's stupid comment that made no sense whatsoever.

I wonder what is stupider, my comment itself or someone taking it seriously?

I'm sorry blueslaad, but it was meant a joke...

pronounce it "googoogoogoo".

What about the option of when you get buzzed and things start slurring and it comes out "pif" "sniff" "liff" and other things. :(

I also say "Jif". Reminds me of Jif peanut butter. Oh yeah.
