    However none of those have the g-i-f sequence and have the j sound.

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

      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.
