I mean it has been jif since this guy created the format so that's what I've always said.

I mean g followed by i has been making a 'juh' sound since the DAWN of time, so.

give, giddy, gift, gig, gill, gimmick, gimp, ginkgo, girl, gizmo, and the list goes on.

So to me, it could go either way. I'll continue to pronounce it like gift without the t.

He may be right but when a language habit is spread creating consensus the language changes because of the use. The same thing happened with "you" which was archaically "thou". It's like saying: "I'm still gonna use thou because it is the original pronunciation!".

[JessieJHeartbeat]

I always said it like that, 'gif' with a gurr just sounds wrong.

I'll continue saying it with a hard g. The dude who created it can stay bothered though.

[MrPeanut]

I didn't know people pronounced it any other way.

[BILLIONAIRE✘BOY]

Ew people pronounce it with a hard G ?

How awkward.

[I'm JAVIng Fun]

that's how I've always thought it was pronounced

[Lyrical.]

Am I the only one who spells it out? G-I-F.

[lawmak]

Oh thanks..I thought I was the only one who pronunces it with a hard g as in "get"..

Anyway I guess I'll still say Gif with hard g..cause now that's what me and my friends say it..

[James Maslow]

Who is he anyway, it's a pronounced as "Gift" and that's the way it is.

[ZachM]

thank god it's finally been settled.

And at people saying the CREATOR is wrong...I can't.

[Deemy]

Thats how I pronounced it all along. Cultured.

[James Maslow]

Lol at people taking him seriously. He's a programmer, not a linguistic

[Qwerty]

I didn't realize anyone pronounced it "jif." I'll continue to think of it as "gif," although I don't think I've ever said it out loud.
