  1. The dumbest arguments for .g(uh)-if are "do you pronounced it jate", to which one should reply "gel, geoff, ginger" The next is the argument, "the word it's short for is 'graphics' hence a hard G", to which one should reply, "you have abbreviations that are pronounced by the letter, read as an entirely new word, or a weird mix of both. As a result the pronunciation of individual letters often changes from the original terms. 'SWAughT' vs. 'SW@', ROM (as in CD-ROM), 'RawM' not 'ROhM' " When you create a thing you have the right to name it, if you respect entrepreneurship and invention, you should call it the way the inventor intended. In this case a .gif is a soft 'g' "jif".
