Means nothing. The creator and company pronounce it “jif.”

Do you say FOMO, YOLO, or PIN with the correct vowel pronunciations? No, you don’t. Spoken acronyms don’t have to follow the same pronunciation as the word.

Your argument holds no weight.

The creator, may he Rest In Peace, can pronounce it however he wants, but the world will decide what is the common way to pronounce it… and that’s GIF, not JIF. We’re talking about a Graphics Interchange Format… not a peanut butter brand. 🙃

Do you not realize the post you quoted just proved your argument false.

I have heard “jif” since I was in middle school 25 years ago. I’ll say it right while you keep saying it wrong.
 
We watched it last night! My wife and I were wincing like every other scene! Lol
Dude is straight up nuts!!
Hope he hangs it up and lives to tell about it all. I noticed all the other pioneers of solo died in their late 40s/50s continuing to “try” to solo climb.

Yeah, he definitely needs to call it a day at this point. There's nothing left to prove and all it takes is one mistake or one bad break in the weather or the environment for everything to come crashing down. He's amazing and I've only seen a short doc on him and his attempt but I do hope he lives to be the oldest man to climb 'insert climbing challenge.'

BTW, where did you watch? Is it on Netflix or ?

I really wasn't making an argument, per se. Just making light of the obvious contradiction.

But for what it's worth, there may be exceptions, but I can't immediately name a single acronym that intentionally violates the normal pronunciation of the initial consonant.

But I just listed three of them, vowel or consonant. It would apply to any letter that has alternante pronunciations like vowels, C, G, etc.
