On: Poll: "Giff" or "Jif"?

[jvzr]

In France, G and J have the opposite sound: J sounds like G, and G like J. Makes sense? ;-)

As such, everybody pronounces it "JIF" here. And it seems to go in the author's direction, so it's fine.

Is that "JIF" meant to be pronounced in English or French, then? ;)

[jvzr → eclecnant]

"jee-f" :)

I'm French and I never heard someone pronouncing it "JIF".

Well then I guess even us do have different pronunciations. I'm from Lyon and everyone I know, be it friends, family or colleagues, say "jee-f".
