I’m going to avoid all controversy and just make the g silent. It’s ‘if from now on.
If I say it fast enough, people will just assume I use their version.
I’m not aware of any word that changes pronunciation of the first letter by adding a letter at the end. The closest thing we have to GIF is “gift”, being “gif” with an extra “t” at the end. By that logic GIF should be pronounced like “gift” without the “t”.
GIF (J sound). For those who are confused or don’t understand the debate, many people forget phonetics, and that letters can make different sounds depending on the use case. The words below use a soft g sound, like in the word “Justice”, (at least with US English). Pronouncing them with a hard g sounds odd, but only due to us being used to the way use pronounce them already. Though it doesn’t matter much, saying with a soft G (J sound) is easier and faster to say due to how one’s mouth moves. Saying it with a hard G requires more muscle, bringing one’s tongue to the back of the mouth to produce a hard G “Google”.
Advertisers have been doing stuff like this since forever to get you to look. Some ads will subtly add extra limbs that you won’t notice by glancing at it but your brain notices something is off and will make you want to look closer
I just want peoples’ source of income to be less dependant on ad revenue I guess… If everything else were less expensive, and if I knew my favourite content creators were GENIUNELY benefiting from the money I donate, I would be more inclined.
I hate that there’s always some company or middle man between me and who I want to give my money to,
