IK>>   It is pronounced JIF... as you would have known if you had bothered
IK>>to read the post by the guy who mentioned that the person who INVENTED
IK>>the damn things NAMED THEM THAT.  You dont call cars, "sars" do you?
IK>>You dont call the phone a "pa-hone" do you?  Are Mood rings called
IK>>"Mowed" rings?  Lots of things have the "owe" sound but not everything
IK>>is pronounced that way.  Grab a brain you dough heads.  It was written
IK>>there in black and white.  The format is pronounced JIF because thats
IK>>what the guy INVENTED... it has nothing to do with how many GEE sounds
IK>>or how many GUH sounds there are in the world.  If you cant be bothered
IK>>to use the english language correctly.. then SHUTUP.


IK>The word "don't" has an apostrophe in it; the word "mood" should not
IK>be capitalized; the word "that's" has an apostrophe in it; the word
IK>"can't" has an apostrophe in it; the word "English" should be
IK>capitalized; the phrase "shut up" is two words, not one; you're
IK>missing several commas; and you really, really should not be flaming
IK>people, especially if it's for something you're guilty of yourself.

IK>Now, perhaps we can return to the topic.


  Uh-uh... the fact that Im a crappy typer has nothing to do with the
arguement and you are nitpicking at something that is purdy (spelled
that way on purpose cuz i like it that way) stoopid. (see prior note).
  Mood ring SHOULD be capped you moron, cuz its a noun... some peoples
kids.. <shakin head>
  I dont bother with apostrophes cuz  Im a lazy typer and it suits me to
omit them... anything else?  I have not mispronounced anything in
there... typed it wrong maybe.  Yer arguement has no validity...have a
nice day now..:)
