Comment on looking forward to the comments

This comment section is killing me lmao.

You have people saying that language is fluid, and that one person cannot decide which pronunciation is correct. Then, in that same comment, they say that their preferred pronunciation is obviously correct.

Hard g, soft g, you do you. It really doesn’t change much.

This is fair. My only issue is with those that go “but the creator says it’s pronounced this way! The other way is clearly wrong!” as if that’s supposed to matter.

I pronounce it “zhif” like the sound from zsa zsa Gabor’s name. It irritates everyone equally, and gives me a happy.

Also, if you’re familiar with the gnome/guh-nome debate on the Linux side of the playground, pronouncing it with a glottal stop at the beginning will give everyone around an immediate stroke.
