yeah man, just like you go scuba diving oo-nderwater.
it’s a dead end. We can’t pretend that “g” can’t also be pronounced as “j”, or that the words making up the acronym matter. It’s all preference and since GIF’s dad called it “jif”, I’m gonna call it “jif”. At least that’s based on something beyond my own hubris.
I seen a guraffe at the zoo!
And it had a gift.
Was it a gyro?
If it were gyf or gir, then it could have been gyro or giraffe. But no, it was a gift of gif.
Sorry, did you say it had a gif?
I mean it’s funny but of course you are objectively wrong.
This one is good
You lie guraffos are lies told by whores and god
But the g in gif stands for “graphical,” not “giraffe!” You silly goose
That’s easily the worst reasoning for the hard-g considering how we don’t pronounce the letters of most acronyms based on the phrases they come from.
Tell that to Qantas, the abomination of all acronyms. WHERE IS THE U??? AAAAAAAAA

Saying it with a hard G because ‘graphical’ has a hard G is a reason based on something beyond hubris.
Just like jpeg is pronounced “jfeg”
The p in jpeg stands for “photographic”.
So… “jay-feg”?
