At least, that's how I'd see it. Whereas the hard g is G's first function, rather than the sound it shares with J, which is J's first function. Plus, this is jreat:


    That is the single best thing I have seen in my life.

    I pronounce it with a hard "g" sound, but I do recognize that I'm wrong because the official pronunciation is like with a "j."

    i aint gon stop tho

    And Fate is right - just because graphics is pronounced with a hard g doesn't mean anything! ISIS is pronounced like "eye," but Islamic is not.

    English is the hardest language on the face of the Earth. It's pretty much "pronounce things how you want to, cause we don't make any sense!" Lel.
