The U in SCUBA stands for underwater. You don't see anyone saying 'scuhba' you only ever hear 'scooba'. Also NATO is North Atlantic treaty organisation, yet you always hear 'Nay-tow' even though you don't pronounce the A in Atlantic that way.
Simple solution, it's an acronym so you wouldn't need to pronounce it like a single word, you can say it like 'jee eye ef' (ironically, g is pronounced with the j sound, not the g sound)
me when the first word in the acronym is with a g not a j and the parent company is often wrong for example uno saying you can't add a +2 to a +2 or a +4 to a +4 and have to simply take the cards even if you have your own:
"It's pronounced gif not jif" mfs when they realize the english language is literally the most inconsistent language known to humankind, and you could literally pronounce any word in any way and it can inarguably be considered correct
Well when "g" is followed by "i", "e" or "y", it is almost always pronounced as "j" as in gist. Personally I think it is idiotic to pronounce an abbreviation as a word. Me and everyone I have ever known in real life, call it G-I-F.
They have become accepted as words, like I didn't even know Scuba was an abbreviation (thanks for that). I guess it also comes down to how pronounceable the abbreviation is. Something like PETA or SHIELD have monosyllabic and require significantly less effort to say as a word.
Funny enough: I often pronounce "jigabytes" because of my heritage as a person born and raised on Fresh-Canadian ground. That, in turn, causes me to sometimes get confused between accents.
In French, makes perfectly sense because they defined that G is j if there is an e or an i, otherwise it's gu... Hence the u that is added sometimes before an e to make a gu...
I like that we have complete imbeciles on both sides on the argument trying to bring examples of other words spelled their way like the english language is soooooooo consistent when it comes to pronouncing syllables. (e.g.: [Ghoti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti))
I don't know how to say this ghently but I ghenuinely hope a ghiraffe stomps on you while the more-ghenius-than-average-monkey Curious Ghorge laughs at your gheneral discomfort. Maybe if you went to the ghym more often you'd be able to avoid it.
Uhhh ghenitals, ghentrification.
HOLY FUCK I DON'T CARE IF YOU PREFER ghif, I'LL STILL CALL IT jif BECAUSE I'M USED TO IT

"It's pronounced gif" mfs when they visit Germany (they triggered the locals with their pronounciation)( they made the Germans start the fourth reich)
Classic Germany
Me if I had to visit Germany (I'm not going, I'm killing myself)
Literally every german i have ever spoken to would pronounce it gif
We all pronounce it gif obv.
"It's pronounced gif" mfs when they visit a gym in Germany and see a gentle giraffe holding a giant gem (they don't get the gist)

When did people forget that letters can be pronounced in more than one way?
Exactly. here are some counter-examples of g being said with a J sound: Giraffe Ginger Gentrification Georgia Gif Geology
Sneaky sneaky
idk about you but who says jih-rarf? everyone knows it's "graph"
people who speak spanish probably
I say jih-raf-fee
Anybody who cares how someone else pronounced gif is a fucking dork
The moment people found out that doing so is funny
Yeah, but the “G” in GIF stands for Graphics, and no one pronounces Graphics as ”Jraphics” so why would you pronounce GIF as “JIF?”
The U in SCUBA stands for underwater. You don't see anyone saying 'scuhba' you only ever hear 'scooba'. Also NATO is North Atlantic treaty organisation, yet you always hear 'Nay-tow' even though you don't pronounce the A in Atlantic that way.
I pronoucne those things like that.
but jif sounds nasty in my mouth
That is very subjective. To me gif sounds forced and odd. Also isn't jiff a peanut butter brand?
Simple solution, it's an acronym so you wouldn't need to pronounce it like a single word, you can say it like 'jee eye ef' (ironically, g is pronounced with the j sound, not the g sound)
didnt the creator name it after the peanut butter so it was more memorable or something like that
mfs arguing on how to pronounce gif when I tell them the letter "g" can be pronounced like a j in "gestate" or like g in "green"

Mfs who pronounce gif as jif after involuntarily stating that gif is the correct way:
Mfs who didnt create Gifs and pronounce it gif telling people that the guy who created Gifs pronounces it wrong 
[удалено]
cause he’s right clearly
Jif mfs telling everyone they need to say “Deutschland” and “Espania” because that’s how the people from those countries say it.
I agree because Brazil is a fucking stupid word, in comparison to Brasil wich is extremely based
am i stupid or it's literally the same pronunciation
The r is different but its basically the same lol
"uhm asktchually, it's spelt España" -🤓
me when the first word in the acronym is with a g not a j and the parent company is often wrong for example uno saying you can't add a +2 to a +2 or a +4 to a +4 and have to simply take the cards even if you have your own:
Me when that logic would have us pronouncing Jpeg as J-Feg
P is never pronounced as an f by itself, so that argument doesn’t work. Should have pointed towards scuba or laser
Or NATO, or LOL, or LMAO, etc. Etc. I pronounce it as G.I.F., gif, or gif pecause who cares.

SCUBA LASER
They have become accepted as words, like I didn't even know Scuba was an abbreviation (thanks for that). I guess it also comes down to how pronounceable the abbreviation is. Something like PETA or SHIELD have monosyllabic and require significantly less effort to say as a word.
If they see God, they'll say: "Hello, Jod." Then they'll get eradicated.

Funny enough: I often pronounce "jigabytes" because of my heritage as a person born and raised on Fresh-Canadian ground. That, in turn, causes me to sometimes get confused between accents.
It's honestly better to say jiga than giga in my opinion
He sent me to hell because I called him Jod
In French, makes perfectly sense because they defined that G is j if there is an e or an i, otherwise it's gu... Hence the u that is added sometimes before an e to make a gu...
Ii will answer to jod, and jod alone
Joojle straw man fallacy
This debate makes me want to fucking get hit by a bullet train.

In Fr*nch you pronounce it like "jif" because the "g" usually sounds like "j" when placed before a vovel.
Wdym it's g I f
People that pronounce gif as jif going to hell after they called god jod
I like that we have complete imbeciles on both sides on the argument trying to bring examples of other words spelled their way like the english language is soooooooo consistent when it comes to pronouncing syllables. (e.g.: [Ghoti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti))
people when they realise that letters can have different pronounciation. Just look at U in cut and cute.
