samuelx43a Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) All my life I've said GIF as in gift. Then again, when you're a son of english teachers, you tend to get corrected. Edited February 16, 2017 by samuelx43a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookusmeow Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Most people pronounce it with a hard "g" sound, but for some reason the creator said it was pronounced like "jif" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickshotMcGee Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 They are both technically correct, but the way people pronounce it largely depends on where you are. I personally pronounce it with a hard 'G' sound, because that sounds correct with how it's spelled, and not like I'm talking about a brand of peanut butter.
