Let me guess: you pronounce GIF as Jif just because the creator is a peanut butter obsessed weirdo who couldn’t pronounce “graphics”?

That’s not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don’t pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can’t we just accept both and stop being weird about it.
