It's gif, not gif!
Smh
It's not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.
The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.
Actually, I'm pretty sure you have them flipped
You're both wrong, the G is silent.
"if"
I like it
You sure it's not a 'Yi' sound?
One is my name, the other is not.
Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.
I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I'll just link to this great list of counterexamples:
How do you pronounce JPEG?
Jay-peg
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. So by the other user's logic, you shouldn't be using the hard /p/ sound.
Ah, Jafeg, like Jafar's less charismatic cousin.
Do you pronounce origin like the state?
Do you you also say "nay-say" when reading NASA, lol, that logic is flawed.
I'd like to remind everyone that the rules for words amd pronunciation were documented AFTER most words, which is why it's so inconsistent and arbitrary

Always pronounce it "GIF."
Never "JIF."
Only Lore does that.
Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?
I'll never tell
Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore's jam, though
Be more like Data.
Welcome to
It's Jrrrreat!
What the hell is a gigawatt?
Pronounced "jijawatt":
Choosy moms choose Gif.
Choosy websites choose gif.
(And if anyone gets that reference I'll be thrilled.)
It really hits every spot on the spectrum from minion to stripper dances lol
Giffraffe
Jiraffe: another terrible product from Atlassian
It's Gif the Giraffe!
It all depends if you pronounce it
Graphics interchange format
Or
Jraphics interchange format

Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.
I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.
I don't care as long as you don't say Jetpack to JPG like my old collegue used to say.
Whut
That's an actual crime
Do you pronounce origin like the state?
They're both GIF, and they're both pronounced correctly, because there is only one way to pronounce it, and there is no other way.
Maybe GIF?
