It's gif, not gif!
Smh
It's not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.
The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.
Actually, I'm pretty sure you have them flipped
One is my name, the other is not.
Gif as in gift. Anything else is nonsense!
Ever seen a geriatric geologist named George at the gym? How about a giant ginger giraffe drunk on gin. What about a genderless genealogist cutting generic gems?

Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.
I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I'll just link to this great list of counterexamples:
Do you pronounce origin like the state?
Do you you also say "nay-say" when reading NASA, lol, that logic is flawed.
I'd like to remind everyone that the rules for words amd pronunciation were documented AFTER most words, which is why it's so inconsistent and arbitrary

Always pronounce it "GIF."
Never "JIF."
Only Lore does that.
ITS GIF, FIGHT ME
Uhm achtckyally it's GIF
Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore's jam, though
Be more like Data.
Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?
I'll never tell

Welcome to
It's Jrrrreat!
What the hell is a gigawatt?
Pronounced "jijawatt":
Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.
I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.
I don't care as long as you don't say Jetpack to JPG like my old collegue used to say.
Whut
That's an actual crime
Do you pronounce origin like the state?
