      Okay so GIF. It's a hard G, no questions Appeals to phonics are non sequiturs because it's not a word. It's an acronym. Acronyms have their own rules. Acronym phonics goes basically like this:

      1: Euphony must prevail 2: Acronyms are pronounced with the fewest morae possible, except where this contradicts rule 1 3: Letters which have multiple phonogram identities retain the pronunciation of their parent word, except where this contradicts rules 1 and 2

      Nobody good at pattern-matching thinks it should be pronounced "jif" but at the same time few people correctly identify the reasons why, so there you go, you're welcome. Phonics of acronyms.

      Saw a joke earlier today that's as good as anything else as an example of what it looks like when rule 1 gets invoked HTTPS has no consensus or obvious pronunciation, but could be "hot tips" (5 morae) or "hottie piss" (4 morae). Per rule 1, it probably would never be hottie piss
