    Women Vs world? Women Vs Woo? Women Vs work? Women Vs wonder?

    Cause the “wom” sequence would be…
    Women Vs Womb?
    Women Vs Wombat?

    The arguement is obviously nonsense.
    It’s going into syntax of words to get pronunciation, instead the acronym/name.
    Which is funny, because that’s exactly what’s happening in the gif/jif argument.

    Great.
    However none of those have the g-i-f sequence and have the j sound.
    They do have g-i-t sequences. So it suggests that the f makes the g pronounced like a g not a j.
    Intact, you could use examples like “digit” to argue the versioning software should be pronounced jit.
