What if bodies just had random errors like computers do?

Fudge that. Hard G for life, homie!

If the creator wanted it pronounced jif, maybe he should have used a j or something other than Graphic Interchanged Format. Graphic. With a hard G. Deal with it.

Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

THIS RIGHT HERE!

Had this conversation with a coworker of mine today.  Hard G in graphic so hard G in GIF.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Also, hard G in GIFT, therefore hard G in GIF. The phonic from the first letter doesn't change just because you've added a letter to the end of the word.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Adding letters can change the phonic no matter where it's located. Also, one of the basic rules in English is a 'g' followed by 'i' is always soft with a small handful of exceptions. Gift happens to be one of these exceptions. I've always pronounced it as a J. I'm glad to see I was correct. Get with it scrubs

No one would know what you were talking about if you said jif. Unless it was in context of making pbandjs.

I just have to say that the creator has a troll face. Look at him, he is a troll.
