Keynote is an awesome product.
Creating mantras rather not. Sounds like some people have a lot of spare time.

In Romance language derived words letter G followed by a vowel is pronounced as a J.

In Germanic derived words it becomes a hard G.
The origin of a word is an influence on it pronunciation but not the final determiner. The accepted pronunciation of a word is nothing more than its (most generally) accepted pronunciation.

In any case GIF is not a word derived from a foreign word but an acronym where the G is derived from an English word that has a hard G.

In 2013 Steve Wilhite got a Lifetime Achievement award for both simultaneously inventing the word and getting its pronunciation wrong. 😉

As is "gift"? I always wondered why it was spelt with a G and not a J. 🤔🤣
In Romance language derived words letter G followed by a vowel is pronounced as a J.

In Germanic derived words it becomes a hard G.

The founder of GIF said it should be said with a soft G but I say gif with hard g or soft g interchangeably because nobody gives af.

Do people say NAYTO or NATO? I also say both interchangably because as an internationally renowned super spy I have to change my accent every 11 minutes.

James Bond and Jason Bourne still didn’t learn this trick.
