Comment on When you hear someone pronounce GIF as 'JIF

  And none of that changes the “ji” is a common pronunciation of gi. Sure, go is the hard g, but y’all act like gif is the only word with the soft g.

  The true stupid move is demanding that there is only one pronunciation. Like many worlds with variations, both are acceptable.
