The creator says it's jif. That's it. That's the end of the discussion. You don't get to decide which is correct. The end.
You can say gif if you want, you'll be wrong, but you can say it.
I’d rather be in the majority saying it wrong then the minority saying it right.
Because at the end of the day the way you pronounce words is a very social thing, and no matter what is technically right or wrong, it’s going to benefit you to say it in the way everyone else does.
And the majority say it with the hard G.
Is it really the majority, though? This wouldn't be so divisive an issue if everyone said it the same way
