This literally makes no sense. Saying a word correct is as bad as saying another word incorrect?

tbh, if there was a law about it, it would be against it.
Look, I'm just going by how the creator of the word says it's pronounced. I know it's weird. Don't even get me started on how to say Linux.

"jif" is incorrect though. in the english language it's "gif" with a "g"
A soft g, similar to the way gymnasium or giraffe is pronounced.

there is no "g" sound in either of those words. (i would pronounce "mach" like "mock" and loch like "lock")

Also, the acronym was created to be a play on the peanut butter. So I believe it should be pronounced like the peanut butter.
To those of you defending your pronunciation because in the acronym the G stands for graphics, a word with a hard g, how do you pronounce CERN? The C stands for Conseil, so I imagine to be logically consistent you would say KERN?
In any case, I don't care about your logical consistency. Pronounce it however you like as long as a sizeable portion of the population pronounces it that way.

Obviously I'm talking about the actual pronunciations, not the pronunciations in modern American English that have that K-shift.

Except it's not correct unless you're insane. Do you fucking say "jraffics" too?

It isn't a word though. It's an abbreviation.
Same like reading gift but throw the "t" words out.
Same like reading words.
Jif.
The guy who created it says it that way, too.

With a hard G because I'm a hard man.

You don't get to decide pronunciations, just spellings.
