I hate that commercial, I wish I didn't use tv as background noise while I work at night. Ugh, time to just listen to music instead, LOL... Anyone else HATE that commercial?
....And Kmart took off their Jingle Bells one..
However, logic says it IS pronouned as GIF. The G stands fro GRAPHICS. It's a known controversy and there's not a right answer, because there are good arguments for both. I'm a linguist and I've never had any doubts it's a G as in gift. But I do get where you come from, as I said, there are arguments for the other option, too. But no 100% right answer, it'd say both are correct.
