    how do you pronounce God, goo, grey, great, good, gun, gumption, goofy

      While I agree with you on how it should be pronounced, not a good argument. Giraffe.

          That falls apart when you have all the words like bit and bite, made and mad, same and sam.

            I disagree. If the letter your adding is E, it will change the promounciation of the vowel. That’s the function of the E. Adding a consonant like t doesn’t change the vowel sound (eg. How you would pronounce something like “sif” vs “sift” - no change in the vowel.

            I would accept gife (rhymes with life) with hard G before I accept jif.

      I agree with you but I have a simpler argument, which is the mere fact that this exists: https://fileinfo.com/extension/jif

      Also, if jizz is not spelled as gizz, so why would jif spelled as gif?

        I’m seeing vowel consonant vowel, that’s a long U in the new word regardless to what it stands for in the acronym.
