Gif or quotJIF?quot

How do you pronounce a .gif file? I pronounce it as jif while some of my other friends pronounce it with a hard G sound. They don't believe that jif is the correct pronunciation, but I'm curious as to how you guys say it?

Hard G or soft G?

Are you asking our personal preference, or what is technically correct? Either way is correct.

All of my computer oriented friends pronounce it with a hard G, so I do to.
