This comment section is killing me lmao.

You have people saying that language is fluid, and that one person cannot decide which pronunciation is correct. Then, in that same comment, they say that their preferred pronunciation is obviously correct.

Hard g, soft g, you do you. It really doesnโ€™t change much.

This is fair. My only issue is with those that go โ€œbut the creator says itโ€™s pronounced this way! The other way is clearly wrong!โ€ as if what the creator says actually matters. It doesnโ€™t. Especially when said creator waits 26 years to announce how he pronounces it.

I pronounce it โ€œzhifโ€ like the sound from zsa zsa Gaborโ€™s name. It irritates everyone equally, and gives me a happy.

Also, if youโ€™re familiar with the gnome/guh-nome debate on the Linux side of the playground, pronouncing it with a glottal stop at the beginning will give everyone around an immediate stroke.
