- Possibly, but I think that you'll find that most people pronounce it as
- 'Gif' and no t 'Jif'. I've travel a lot, and nearly every place I've been
- they pronounce it with a G sound and not a J. Most places they correct you
- if you say it 'Jif'. But pronunciation makes no difference. Say it as you
- want to, and just be aware that it is pronounced both ways when you travel
- to different areas so you can know what in the world they are talking about.
