I realise this question is, like, so 2008, but I'm still curious.

Poll #17753 How to pronounce .gif

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 74

When speaking aloud, which pronunciation do you use when referring to a file with the .gif extension?

A "jiff"
7 (9.5%)

A "giff"
67 (90.5%)

I think I use this pronunciation primarily because of

my geographical location
11 (14.9%)

the way I first heard it pronounced
30 (40.5%)

the way I thought it should sound in my head
59 (79.7%)

something else which I shall describe in comments
10 (13.5%)
