    I formally invent my synonym to GIF. It’s GIF and pronounce it GIF, not JIF. Now everyone who pronounce it GIF are correct even by your logic. I also formally invent a figure of speech that goes by “It’s JIF” and means “I’m wrong” which means even you admit that you are wrong, and you cannot say otherwise because I’m the inventor, not you.

      Wow. Now you’re just being deliberately obtuse and vindictive. You are not worth continuing this conversation with. Grow up.

        No, I’m giving an example of why the inventor of a word doesn’t have the final say in what the meaning or pronunciation of said word is. Either my statements above about my newly invented synonym are wrong, or you are.
