    The ones that have heard it pronounce it jif

    I don’t see why you’re so insistent on being wrong

      When I hear someone mispronounce gif as jif, I tend to know exactly what type of person they are.

      On the slim chance you’re arguing in good faith and are just unaware. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_GIF

      A number of analysis have been done on this subject. Polling showed that more people pronounce with a hard g. Most dictionaries list a hard g as the primary pronunciation. More words that begin with gi use the hard g.

      It’s the children who are wrong, all three billion of them. The only ones who are right are me and my friends. We don’t have any justification or valid argument, we’re just right because we say we are.

      That’s you. That’s what you sound like.

        You literally thought that most of the species knew what gifs were

          Still do. To be clear, I’m talking about the human species, not like moths or turtles or something. Smart phones are pretty common, actually.

            A lot of people would use the term video and for instance imgur uses mp4s (hence audio)
