the inventor of gifs clearly stated it was pronounced "jif" like the peanut butter.

"jif" is therefore more accurate.

I pronounce it both ways. Sometimes I will even use one pronunciation over the other because it angers the person I am speaking with.

I absolutely brought it up for giggles.

I hope you're pronouncing that as "jiggles" :D
