Authorial intent is irrelevant, fuck a Compuserve.

According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[4]

Tom Hardy & the Batbreakers (Phil D.), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 18:32 (thirteen years ago)

You know, one of the demons that rattles around in my brain makes me mispronouce hard g's as soft g's when no one else is around. So I get things like "Hunger James" and "Jerry Jarcia", etc.

Et si t´es encore triste
Ou rien qu’si t’en as l’air
J’te raconterai comment
Tu d’viendras Rockefeller
On s’ra bien tous les deux
On r’chantera comme avant
Comme quand on était beaux Gef
Comme quand c´était l’temps
D´avant qu´on soit poivrots
Allez viens Gef, viens

how it is pronounced is however you pronounce it. how well you are comprehended is up to the listener.
