Inspired by today's Vlog Brothers videos...
PNQ: Do you pronounce .gif as "giff" (like "gift" without the "t") or "jiff" (like "jiffy" without the "y")? (henceforth "hard g" or "soft g") I think it's supposed to be the former, but I use the latter, it just rolls of the tongue easier. Wikipedia says that the creator intended soft g, while the Cambridge Dictionary says hard g. Merriam-Webster places hard g ahead of soft g. The New York Times says take the cue from the "graphics" that the acronym is formed from and use hard g.
