This Man Can Pronounce Every Word in the Dictionary

Pop quiz. Try pronouncing the following. Ready? Go. Elucubrate. Smaragdine. Scherenschnitte. Head scratchers, huh? Not for Jacques Bailly. As the official pronouncer of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, he can tackle any word thrown at him. He started his wordsmith career as the 1980 spelling bee champion. These days, Jacques feels the heat of etymological battle from the other side of the mic.

"GIF" stands for "Graphics Interchange Format". Pronounce the letters the same way you do when you say "Graphics Interchange Format", i.e. GIF with a hard G-sound and not a soft J-sound.

[@alaindellepiane2827]

Except that the creators of the format themselves pronounced the word as "jif" with a soft "G" /dʒɪf/ as in "gin", deliberately echoing the American peanut butter brand Jif. And it's a logical choice, no better or worse then yours, just different. Like the video says, it's really down to the majority to choose.
