i sometimes work in ICT classes and not saying gif out loud wd make the class unnecessarily circumlocutory

if you are a software developer, get a tattoo that says "gif" on your palm and flash it instead of saying the word out loud

This just reminds me of the confusion resulting for anglophone students of French that, in the French alphabet, J is 'gee' and G is 'jay'.

haha, related: an (anglophone) friend of mine was trying to help her francophone, yet quite anglo bilingual boyfriend pronounce the word JENGA and after trying a few times, he declared "This word is full of traps!"

I don't pronounce it, as such:

I guess it's sort of pronounced "whoosh"?

The Seinfeld i just watched had this appropriate exchange...
JERRY: <Looks at the owner's manual.> Owner's manual...you know what? This car was owned by Jon Voight.
GEORGE: Ah! See? I told ya.
JERRY: Except Jon is spelled with an H. J-O-H-N.
GEORGE: So?
JERRY: Doesn't Jon Voight spell his name J-O-N?
GEORGE (pulls over): So, what are you saying?
JERRY: Nothing. I'm sure "Jon" probably mispelled his own name. I know sometimes I spell Jerry with a G...and an I! <Laughs uproariously.>
