why not try an exotic alternative? /ɣif/ (that's the voiced velar fricative symbol btw, not the letter "Y") has something for everyone

except Gmail™ is a trademark with a unique pronunciation determined by an organization with legally enforced authority over said trademark.

if gif was a trademarked name you'd have an argument

e: lol, chrome replaces the actual trademark character with a graphic emoji version that's black and thus invisible on the page, what the gently caress

ee: lol, it's actually a new windows 10 update doing the replacing. gently caress me.

eee: i have been informed that it's specifically a forums thing which makes more sense and is still infuriating

I need it louder to hear the frequencies under 20 than the ones over 15,000 though???
