@cj it's the only one even remotely close to the correct pronunciation
@ben You mean the one I deliberately tried to omit. 🤪
@cj If I pronounce it JAHN-ruh, like JUR-af, you'd know exactly what I meant, especially in context. But isn't this a fun game we play occasionally pretending we don't know what others mean by gif/jif?
@cj > 'g' as in rough
Ah yes, I love me some fifs
@cj tfw the way it's supposed to be pronounced isn't here
@cj g as in Jif
@cj I thought it was settled long time ago!

But seems not! 😅
@robby 4 is more like 'zhif'
@cj I pronounce it like in "gorgeous".
Other: the kind if "g" that English speakers can't pronounce, like in "TeX", like the Spanish "j".
I'm not sure if the people choosing "genre" are doing it for the "LOL vocal frictive" or because they actually mispronounce it as "jun-ruh".
