Per the docs, your friend is right. Personally I always call it

They consumed an inordinate amount of time on Compu$erve discussing this
without any good answer coming out of it. Besides, if we say it is pronounced

If it matters to you, the author of the original specification said he
pronounces it Jif, but also admitted that he would pronounce it most any way
for a paycheck :-).
