    The whole thing is funny when you look at the full phrase too. Graphical Interchange Format – it’s got both a hard g and a soft g. You could call a gif an image. You could also call it a graphic.

    At the end of the day, there really isn’t an answer, and there never will be. It’s a fun debate to fuck around with though

      There is a G sound and there is a J sound.

      There is no need to invent a distinction between “hard” and “soft” G. A “soft G” is just a J.

        G can make a hard G sound or a soft G sound, the soft G is identical to J.

        It’s still a soft G sound though, because the letter is G.
