  • Sadly it is pronounced JIF according the creator of the file format (though I have always preferred the hard g tbh). And I’m pretty sure both pronunciations of eschew are valid? Merriem Webster lists the “e-ˈskyü” pronunciation as a rarer variant, and according to a poll I found it’s around 25% of people who pronounce it that way.

    Like most words do have regional variants language is fluid so I wouldn’t say there really is a wrong or a right in most of these cases.

    And in the case of a lot of people making the same “mistake” for long enough, the secondary popular pronunciation will inevitably end up in the dictionary sooner or later anyway lol
