Do you also pronounce gun as jun?

How about girl as jirl?

Giraffe as jiraffe?

Frankly, I reserve my right to not care and have fun with language -- instead of being a curmudgeon (there's no point except to feel better about oneself).

[croisillon]

I believe Giraffe is pronounced Jiraffe?

[dalmo3]

I think that's the point GP was making i.e. it's not an absolute.

[rcdemski]

I prefer to pronounce it Jithub

[throwaway2331]

You're a real gerk.

[SAI_Peregrinus]

Yavascript. Heera.

[rat9988]

The author has been clear it shouls be pronounced as J.

> Giraffe as jiraffe? ??

[DanHulton]

Only slightly related, but I just came across this excellent insult the other day:

"Spoken with the confidence of a man who's been spelling 'giraffe' as 'diraffe' for the last 20 years."

While your questions are logical, they assume consistency. However, English pronunciation is inconsistent as hell. Not that I disagree with you.

[Zandikar]

Best example for these juxtapositions is asking them how they pronounce "Gift" vs "Gif".

[moonchild]

gin?

[lisper]

Again?
