I used to say JIF. Seemed intuitive and the argument about the creator made sense to me.

But I changed my pronunciation because another intuitive thing is that language does change and it's rather democratic.

This person is exactly correct. All those other arguments are just quips. They've all got a counterpoint and as you use them, you damn well know the counterpoint exists. But the argument is fun so you keep at it.

Some of us just want a resolution. My view lost. It's over.

No view lost lol what are you talking about, both ways are correct, but it's fun to give the others shit about it, it's just like rooting for your basketball team

We lost bruh. The election was rigged though. Everywhere I go, people are saying it. They say "hey, this was clearly rigged". And they're very upset they want me to do something about it. I want to, but, you know, the GIF campaign has deep roots. Nobody can get to the bottom of them. They're yhuge.
