How is the word 'gif' actually pronounced. I assumed it was with a hard g, but doing some online training at work, the Americans that are on the videos are pronouncing it as if it is 'jif'. Is there an actual answer or just one of those things that you can pronounce as you see fit?
The inventor of it says jif, but a hard g is more common in overall usage.

Graphics Interchange Format. So really it should be a hard ‘G’.

I have been using Gifs since their inception back in the late 80s early 90s and we always called them gif with a hard G even though its supposed to be pronounced Jif, I am not sure if I have ever heard anyone actually call it with that J sound.
Also I used to use JIFF format files (JPEG Image Format) and that definately is pronounced jiff so it was to differentiate between them that we called them Giff.

And I bet a single mother with 3 kids on the breadline that got caught speeding because she was running late to drop them off at school because her foodbank delivery had turned up late would almost certainly be forced to pay the £100.

Well she'd deserve it, constantly popping out sprongs she can't afford. Ought to have her iPhone and flat screen TV taken away and benefits cut too!
