    Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

    Both are correct, imo. However, it’s hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

        but seriously, any time some one says they use the J sound, they explain by spelling it JIF. It’s just a joke though. No one cares how you pronounce it.

          That’s true, both pronunciations are fine. I have heard your point being used unironically before, though.

      I can’t think of another word where spelling it correctly isn’t enough. One must also convey the way they pronounce the word too. The people need to know.

        An example of a word where spelling it correctly doesn’t convey how to pronounce it is colonel

          Yes, but you didn’t feel the need to add a note about how you pronounced it just now. And I don’t care if you know how to say it right. Doesn’t matter in text.
