The disputes over how to pronounce gifs are on the level of which way to face the toilet roll or if the open end of the pillowcase should face out or in. It's dangerous territory!

The leading consonant sound in "Graphics Interchange Format" is a hard G. How you gonna argue that its acronym starts with a "J" sound?

YES! This has always been my argument. Otherwise the door is open to pronouncing JPEG as "GAY PEG" which is fine with me.
