    Sure, but JIF is a different file format, so pronouncing it as “jif” just creates overlap.

    Also every single one of those G’s should be replaced with the letter J; English needs spelling reform.

      Also also, GIF stands for Graphical Interchange Format, and that’s definitely a G sound.

      By the way, the format can’t die soon enough. PNG and video formats are more compact and better quality too. Time to bury this zombie.
