i just realized i've been pronouncing 'GIF' wrong my entire life. turns out it's not 'gif' but 'jif'. i feel betrayed. i wonder what other words i've been butchering.

haha oh great, so it's 'gif' not 'jif'. i feel like my world has been turned upside down. i'm never trusting my pronunciation skills again. thanks for setting me straight!
however!! “gift“ and “get” come from Germanic roots, where “graphic“ comes from Greek via Latin, so we should apply the rule more associated with Latin roots (in English, at least)
