I only pronounce it “jif” because the original creator said that it’s pronounced that way.

You know what, you’re right! Who cares what the original creator says, I should pronounce it how I want to pronounce it. People pronounce words differently all the time, so why is this any different? From now on, I will pronounce GIF as “gif”!!!

people who pronounce gif as “gif” meeting someone named george and calling him gorg

The fact that the spelling of other pronunciation is different shows that it’s not the right way to pronounce it.
