Combinations of letters before and after change the pronunciation of certain parts of a word. None of your words have “gif” pronounced a “jif”. If you have one, tell me. I’m seriously curious if there is a word. As of now the only reference I have is “gift” with a hard g.
Comment on Which is which though?

That’s a retarded argument.

Sure, but JIF is a different file format, so pronouncing it as “jif” just creates overlap.
Also every single one of those G’s should be replaced with the letter J; English needs spelling reform.

Also also, GIF stands for Graphical Interchange Format, and that’s definitely a G sound.
By the way, the format can’t die soon enough. PNG and video formats are more compact and better quality too. Time to bury this zombie.
