Matt Wolfe argues for pronouncing GIF with a hard G, like "gift," because it stands for Graphics Interchange Format. The GIF's creator said either way works, but Wolfe prefers the hard G.

I also say gif, and a lot of people try to tell me that it's gif, but the G stands for graphics, which is a G. So therefore I call it gif. Somebody's arguing giraffe is a G. But what does GIF stand for? Graphics. G. G, G Graphics. Right. If it was a giraffe interchange format, then I would call it a gif, but it's a G Rafics interchange format, therefore I call it a gif. The creator of the GIF file format said it's G if not j, if it definitely could be pronounced either way. I mean, if somebody says gif, we know what they're talking about. Or gif. But I just feel like if the first word is graphic and graphic starts with a G, then gif should start with a G.
