I use both interchangeably. With no pattern. Much like how programs will spell check "colour". Lives are changed in equal quantities.

It's pronounced like the g in high.

Let's just agree on asking ChatJPT how it should be pronounced and go with whatever it says?

Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

Both are correct, imo. However, it's hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

And how do you tell people how to pronounce garage using text?

Imagine trying to control how someone says a word.

Don't look for the first pronunciation
