And if "ᵹ" is readmitted specifically in its affricate capacity, i.e. for "g" in "gem" etc

I'm in. It would also clear up some ambiguity over the pronunciation of "gif" ;-)

There is no ambiguity in the pronunciation of "GIF". The "g" is pronounced just like the the "g" in "garage".

Not like the g in jraphics then? :D

It's in quantum superposition. Actually speaking it collapses the wavefunction around that particular speaker, although some prefer to believe instead that reality forks. ~

omg. fell down laughing. perfect comment

Pronounce the g in garage

I'm more interested in the pronunciation of "jpeg"... you're all saying jay-pezh properly, aren't you?

It's pronounced gee-pejh.

"J as in jif"-p-e-"g as in gif"

Get it right you people!

By the "g as in graphics" logic for "gif", for "jpeg" we have "j as in joint", "p as in photographic", "e as in experts", and "g as in group", so "je-feck"?
