Gif stands for “Graphics Interchange Format”. If it were pronounced “jif”, it would be “Jraphics Interchange Format”.
It is a Graphics Card, not a Jraphics Card!

Right, like how scuba is pronounced “scuhbba” and but “scooba” because it is “self contained underwater breathing apparatus”

Do you pronounce Sim, Vin, and pin like sime, vine, and pine? The I for all of them stand for identification, so you have to stress the i.
What about ICE? The C stands for customs, you must pronounce it like “ike”. Or do you pronounce customs as sustoms?
