the only wrong answers to the "how is gif pronounced" debate are the ones that assert only one acceptable pronunciation exists. prescriptive linguistics goes against how language works
now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go back to pronouncing it the most natural way: with a voiced velar fricative and rhyming with knife
@lunalapin not zh so much as... like the ch in scottish loch but voiced
@typhlosion oh i thought you were specifically referencing this pronunciation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmqy-Sp0txY
@lunalapin ohh pff
@typhlosion I wish I could pin this to my own profile
@typhlosion no, it's yiff

@typhlosion oh thank god someone else who knows about / uses the zhaif pronunciation
