You say UI (yoo I) but you say GUI (goo ey)
You say Char ( ch-r) but you say character (keh-recter)
You say gif but you say jif

English is indeed a massive clusterfuck of a language

No consistency issues. Acronyms are often pronounced as completely different words if they can. It's totally fine.

No one I know says Jif.

Now let me go clean that machete of mine.

There's a guy who pronounced the lib in libc as "libe"

@tbodt he's being consistent! :D

U.I, G.U.I and gifffff

Can I have the consistency award now?

If people say gif as jif, shoot yourself.

I categorically refuse to pronounce gif as jif. Never gonna happen.

@jAsE for non-native English speakers It sounds right haha

@theNox does it? 😯

@Flygger the ranter comes from Israel, so I think it does sound right for him, for other languages the h wouldn't be good in there, I'd rather write kerekter or even kerektr to make it sound more like character (at least for Germans or Slovaks)

@theNox I was just wondering since I'm a non-native English speaker and it didn't sound right to me...

I get it, but it's just not objectively true ;)
