    My giant german friend George Gerard gestates and raises giraffes in genuine need of gentle geriatric care. Such a gentleman.

    It’s jif.

      Counterpoint:
      You had to replace the g with a j in writing, otherwise people would automatically pronounce it gif like gift.
      That alone is proof that “jif” is artificial and wrong.

        Soe Wee shud spel ahll owur werds funehtikly? And if uh werd iz nott speld funehtikly itz rong?

        Because that’s ridiculous. You know perfectly well that letters can make different sounds depending on the word. Stop being obtuse.
