i secretly look down on anyone who pronounces it that way. my house my rules.

Perhaps you didn’t hear but this is my stupid house and you’re my stupid servant, so when you’re here you’ll pronounce it my stupid way.

yeah? well in case you didn’t hear, you gave us all socks, so i guess we are all free now? (man, why all the Harry Potter references?)

(jif? no, lets stick with gif)

But… it’s pronounced like “jif.” That’s just how words (and acronyms) work, man.

Yeah that’s why I got my degree in Jraphic Design. I love the jraphic arts.

But that’s not how it works. Do you pronounce NASA like “nay-sah” or like “nah-sah”? Do you pronounce SCUBA like “skuh-beah” or like “skoo-bah”?

Generally, an acronym is pronounced the way it would be if a single word. Since “gif” has an “I” after the “G,” the “G” becomes soft. Deal with it.

No, acronyms are pronounced letter by letter. No one calls the NFL “nuffle” and sports are never wrong.

Can’t wait for all the jifts I’ll be getting this Christmas. But you know, really the best part of the holiday season is the jiving.
