Nope I can explain

you spent three hours not explaining lol

There are many other words that have g in it and sound like j. Germany giraffe giant gem gym ginger. The g sounds like j when it has an e or I after it

Cuz u never asked

i have a defense

There is already a brand of peanut butter called 'Jif', so it should be pronounced 'Gif' to avoid any confusion.

And I didn't wait 3 hours to produce my defense. It took me 18 hours.

How would it have confusion if peanut butter and moving images are completely different things?

Wouldn't it be confusing if you said, "I made a Gif of Jif." with your pronunciation? You may as well make a peanut butter bottle out of peanut butter.

That is a very unlikely situation, but I'm just proving a point here.

It’s unlikely so it wouldn’t matter + the creator of the GIF says it’s pronounced Jif

Even the Jif company says it’s pronounced Jif

I SAID I GIVE UP!!!

u win

You have a strong belief in this stuff

I just think 'Gif' rolls of the tounge better

Thx

Gg

you have good reasoning skills

oh wait also other words also start with g that sound like g, like goo, great, gulp, grand, and gecko. Just poked a huuuuuuuge hole in your reasoning lololololol

also can 8,000,000,000 people be wrong about how it's pronounced? The file extension has fallen into the hands of others, so just because the creator of the file extension says it's pronounced jif, doesn't mean we have to. That's like the inventor of the TV coming out and saying, "oh it's pronounced tealahviysheohn, btw" or God coming down and saying, "oh actually it's pronounced Jod"

google "soft g rule"

it's a file extension, not a real word, so why should it follow this logic?

not a real word you say

it also says that it's pronounced jif OR gif. boosh

doesn't prove it's pronounced gif only plus it also says that jif is the main way to say it while gif is a secondary way

doesn't mean that it isn't pronounced that way- you know what, this account is supposed to be for archival purposes only, and yet I'm still arguing with some random person on the internet about the way GIF is pronounced. I'm freaking done, I won't reply anymore, and you can throw your pronunciation down a well, 'cuz you aren't changing anyone's minds.

I believe you were also trying to change my mind but ok. Glad this argument is over. Hope you do well :)
