Ever seen a geriatric geologist named George at the gym? How about a giant ginger giraffe drunk on gin.
What about a genderless genealogist cutting generic gems?
Combinations of letters before and after change the pronunciation of certain parts of a word. None of your words have "gif" pronounced a "jif". If you have one, tell me. I'm seriously curious if there is a word. As of now the only reference I have is "gift" with a hard g.
Do you you also say "nay-say" when reading NASA, lol, that logic is flawed.
I'd like to remind everyone that the rules for words amd pronunciation were documented AFTER most words, which is why it's so inconsistent and arbitrary
The acronym for NASA uses the same sounds as the words that make the acronym. Same as GIF so I'm not sure what your point is. Mine is that GIF stands for graphics interchange format and graphics starts with a hard g therefore GIF should start with a hard g.
Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore's jam, though
