¿Por qué no los dos? Personally tired of these primarily online binary semantic arguments. Gif, jif, football, soccer, fútbol, pineapple, ananas, eggplant, aubergine. We contain multitudes, celebrate these absolutely arbitrary differences.

"When you go to the pearly gates, call them 'Jod ' and see how it works out for you" was my favourite response to the gif/jif debate.

(Oddly enough Jif is an abrasive bathroom cleaner / was a lemon juice brand where I'm from (or vice versa) it was renamed to Cif to stop people from suing the companies because they added cream cleaner to their lemon meringue pie)
