Creator of the GIF Sets Record Straight

The guy that created the GIF seems a bit miffed that people still want to pronounce the word with a hard G.

He is proud of the GIF, but remains annoyed that there is still any debate over the pronunciation of the format. "The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations," Mr. Wilhite said. "They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story."
