So does the giraffe way sound kind of like the peanut butter???

(my compsci friend says that is the proper way but she too says it like gift minus the t)

[speshope.livejournal.com]

YES. I WAS TRYING TO BE INTERNATIONALLY CONSIDERATE.

(also, my roommate approves of your CompSci friends' answer, which is basically that my roommate is right but everyone else is okay too.)

My instinct is to pronounce the g-as-in-giraffe, but I make an effort to pronounce g-as-in-gift so as to reduce first-phoneme confusion with jpg (pronounced "jay-peg").

My roommate says g-as-in-giraffe so as to not get it confused with 'gift', but I think she's odd.

Soft g is the only way.

Every time someone uses a hard G for it in my presence, I cringe at their wrongness.

ALSO, IF A GRAPHIC DESIGNER SAYS IT MY WAY, IT MEANS I'M RIGHT.

JUST SAYING.

GIRAFFE WAY JUST SOUNDS WEIRD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WHO DEFAULT G'S TO MAKING A J NOISE UNLESS THEY'RE FOREIGN.

I CONCUR.

I don't know that I've even heard it said with the soft "g" in the last several years. O_o
