Why don't you just pronounce it "gee-eye-eff"?
That's what I do. If somebody's gonna be pissed no matter how you pronounce it, might as well piss them all off equally.
I just want to point out that Lin-Manuel Miranda has been advocating for peace between the hard and soft G clans for more than a decade.
Gif is pronounced like gist, giraffe, gibberish, ginger, and gin
Jxl is pronunciation beeg jay-peg because Jay is lucky
It's interesting debate to observe from my perspective as my native tongue has no different pronunciations for letters, they are always the same regardless of their placement in words. G is always pronounced the same, and so is P. (Spoiler: it's hard G and hard P).
This brought another thing in my mind about soft G. Let's take for example Gin, which is with soft G I believe (it's hard G here because there is only hard G). Then there is the acronym GT for Gin & Tonic. The question is, in English language countries, is the acronym pronounced jay-T instead of gee-T?
Any position is coherent when you have anonymity and free time. That goes double for moderators.
