When you hear someone pronounce GIF as 'JIF

Graphics Interchange Format. Graphics. Not Jraphics.
That’s not how acronyms as words works. AIDS isn’t pronounced “Uh-ids” like the A in acquired.
Letters are pronounced differently in acronyms than in the original words all the time. Take POTUS, for example; the O and U are not the sounds in "of" or "United".
You mean you guys haven't been saying "puh-thyoos" all this time?
