Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.
The acronym for NASA uses the same sounds as the words that make the acronym. Same as GIF so I'm not sure what your point is. Mine is that GIF stands for graphics interchange format and graphics starts with a hard g therefore GIF should start with a hard g.
It's the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Well Aeronautics is a hard A, so you got that going for you least :)
Should be naysah.
SCUBA, unless you pronounce underwater as oonderwater.
Also JIF is a separate file format, so GIF should not be pronounced the same.
I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I'll just link to this great list of counterexamples:

How do you pronounce JPEG?
Jay-peg
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. So by the other user's logic, you shouldn't be using the hard /p/ sound.
Ah, Jafeg, like Jafar's less charismatic cousin.
