Standardize the pronunciation of "gif" as in "gift" and to declare it a felony to make it sound like the peanut butter.

Created by E.F. on March 31, 2014

When a nation is as deeply divided over an issue, a people must resolve the problem before it tears apart the nation. This petition wishes to make it illegal to pronounce the file extension "gif" with a "J" sound. It should become a federal crime to mispronounce the word like this. The only proper pronunciation should be with a hard "G" as in "gift". This will foster national unity.
