Really? It's obviously a j sound.
that's so weird! my friends say it g-i-f, and saying it with a hard g is better than that lol
I use hard g and soft g interchangeably. Hard g because that would be phonetically correct and soft g because I *think* that's what the creator of gifs intended. But it's not worth the fuss that some people make about it. And G-I-F is just too much work to say. :P Sign me up for another round, please. :)

Oh, I like this topic!! *goes off to find gif*
New episode tonight. If you can get a gif in time you can use it. (If it's allowed.)
Sorry guys! I had exams this week, and barely any time to be on. i'm not all that familiar with this show (don't kill me) but I'll try!
It's no problem but I can't see your gif. It won't load properly.
Oh, it shows up on my laptop. I'll just post the link.
I love both but I have to go with Rivka's.

I so did not expect to win that oh my gosh wowAlright, topic. Ummmmm lets go with Star Wars gifs? (Can be from any movie)
RULES: (in brief)
The contest consists of two competitors and a judge. The judge is in charge of choosing a topic for the round they are judging. This could be gifs of a particular show, character, mood, actor, or anything else under the sun.
The two competitors then scour the internet for the perfect gif within this topic, and post their entry. The judge then judges between the two, selects a winner, and said winner becomes the judge for the next round, if available.
CONDITIONS: (the less brief bits)
-Topics can be as specific or broad as you like. For example, you might pick superhero gifs as your topic, or you might choose Iron Man 3 gifs, either works, but it pays to make sure your contestants have seen the material before you decide, to be as fair as possible.
-There is no limit of places you can search; tumblr.com and Google images tend to have the biggest range of gifs.
-Contestants are limited to one gif per round, unless otherwise stated.
-Once both contestants have posted their entries, neither is allowed to change their mind. However, if you are first and your competition has yet to post, you may change your entry.
-Members who want a turn while another round is going on may be added to a waiting list, which will be updated by the moderators.
ALTERATIONS: (do read this)
-If a contestant has not posted within 48 hours of the topic being announced, they may be replaced with a new contestant.
-If a judge has not posted within 48 hours of both entries being posted, a moderator (myself, Lady Bilbo, or Veralidaine) may judge for them.
For an example of how this game works, you can read our outdated wars thread here
HOW TO POST GIFS (or any images) 101:
-Find the gif online (if your gif is offline, you can upload it temporarily on websites like tinypic.com)
-Right click on your gif
-Select "copy image URL", like this:
(At this point, you can click "(some html is ok)" at the top right of your comment box, and follow the instructions under "image:". If that isn't clear enough, though, follow these instructions)
-Type this into your comment box:
-Paste your link
-Close your html with a >, so that it looks like this:
-Click "(preview)" to check your gif is showing (it may take a little while to load), and post!
Tada!
