There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about (discuss.tchncs.de)

Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

Wait but...but that means I'm supposed to pronounce it like the sound of slamming metal doors? but it's for the C language!

am I seriously getting gif'd again?

Why is it pronounced gif when it should be pronounced jif? It's so much clearer when you say jif! AND YES, I DO SAY GIRAFFICS! AAHHH!!
