Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

Both are correct, imo. However, it's hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

And how do you tell people how to pronounce garage using text?

[–] Euphorazine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

gə-ˈräZH

but seriously, any time some one says they use the J sound, they explain by spelling it JIF. It's just a joke though. No one cares how you pronounce it.
