I know the inventor says it should be a soft G, but as it stands for the word 'Graphic' I will continue to say it with a hard 'G'.
I have never heard anyone pronounce it as jif :-/

[craft1948]

I say Gif (hard G)

I'm glad it's not just me that says it wrong! I would have felt very stupid if every other person said 'jif' :)

If they had wanted it pronounced jif they would have spelt it jif. No point trying to pull folk's leg now.

The best quote I saw today was from someone who said, "if it's jif it has to be gaypeg."
I loved that. It's Gif, not Jif.
