It's Pronounced "JIF"

For the record, GIF is an acronym and therefore has no "right" or "wrong" pronunciation outside that described by the creator, in this case CompuServe. The great inconsistency has been annoying to geeks for some time and has finally been put to rest. This page describes the correct pronunciation, right from the creator's mouth.
