    This is a jem of a response, but by jeneralizing pronunciations of acronyms only by the way they are spelt, you are opening a jigantic can of worms on etymology and linguistics.

    The jist of it is that English is a weird language, jenerally descriptive, and there can be many correct answers to the same pronunciation problem.

    As for me? I’m a choosy developer, and I choose jif.

      jigantic

      I read that as Jig-antic. I would have to turn it into jygantik for it to sound the same.
