I frequently work with some people in Argentina and they pronounce git as an English speaker might say “jit”
We never discus image formats tho. I’ll have to ask them about GIF next time.
The English call the Thames river Tims. Spanish call Barcelona Barthelona, and Ibiza Ibitha. So I don't put much in native pronounciations. Otherwise, if they are pronouncing it correctly, they need to go back to spelling skool!!
