In English GI is usually pronounced j. But really who cares?

This always attracts pedants whining "the creator said to pronounce it like jif!" and it's like, OK, A) That's an appeal to authority, one of the best known logical fallacies B) The creator of Mother's Day spent over 30 years trying to get people to stop celebrating it, but too bad, I'm still gonna wish my Mom a happy Mother's Day, you know?

Appeal to authority is a fallacy if a non-expert in the field is appealed to. However he was the creator, does he not get to name it?

Don't get me wrong it's a hard g for me too but it's not a fallacy tbh.

There already a word in the English language which is almost the same : gift. So i prononce it like gift without the t.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So do you pronounce the k in know or other silent letters?

Tom and Tomb are pronounved very differently. Know and No very similarly (same?)

The creator gave it a name, and that is how some pronounce it. Others argue it and to me I think that's a waste of time. (As I waste my time commenting this....)
