The letter G itself is pronounced with the “j” sound.
I started out pronouncing GIF by saying the letters: “g-I-f.” It eventually shortens into “jif.”
So you pronounce graphics as jraphics?
that's a single word. When we make acronyms, they're subject to the pronunciation rules of the new word they've become, not the word the letter is sourced from -- This is pretty obvious if you think about it for a minute.
It's NATO but we say atlantic It's SCUBA but we say underwater
I was addressing "The letter G itself is pronounced with the “j” sound." because letters can make more than one sound.
right but their position relative to other letters form syllables and does have (some) rules. GIF GI-F, like Gi-raf-fe
Weird, you could totally spell G as jee. I wonder how many letters you can accurately spell without using the letter itself
Geigh
