Great.
However none of those have the g-i-f sequence and have the j sound.
They do have g-i-t sequences. So it suggests that the f makes the g pronounced like a g not a j.
Intact, you could use examples like “digit” to argue the versioning software should be pronounced jit.
Yeh, it’s obviously a nonsense argument.
Linus even suggested 2 backronyms for it, none of which have the j sound.
And there is precedence for git being pronounced git not jit.
Women Vs world? Women Vs Woo? Women Vs work? Women Vs wonder?
Cause the “wom” sequence would be…
Women Vs Womb?
Women Vs Wombat?
The arguement is obviously nonsense.
It’s going into syntax of words to get pronunciation, instead the acronym/name.
Which is funny, because that’s exactly what’s happening in the gif/jif argument.

But git is literally a word (and it’s pronounced with a hard G).

So the criteria for pronunciation is other words that have the exact same letters? What does that mean for the pronunciation of “women”?
