“The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations,” Mr. Wilhite said. “They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story

Good to know. I heard a radio show talking about what sounded like gifts. Stupids.

I've always said "jif"- it makes sense linguistically. I've only ever seen the word written, and had no idea I've been pronouncing it differently than everyone else this entire time

I'll never pronounce it "jif". Sounds ghey. People who pronounce it that way, though correct, are lame.

Jif is for peanut butter.
