This always attracts pedants whining “the creator said to pronounce it like jif!” and it’s like, OK,
A) That’s an appeal to authority, one of the best known logical fallacies
B) The creator of Mother’s Day spent over 30 years trying to get people to stop celebrating it, but too bad, I’m still gonna wish my Mom a happy Mother’s Day, you know?
^^^this. Nobody is “wrong”. Say it how you want to. Either way is fine. But get all cocky and tell me I’m wrong for using a soft g and you better be able to defend that assertion, because I’ve heard every argument for why a hard g is the only correct way to say it and they’re all bs.

Appeal to authority is a fallacy if a non-expert in the field is appealed to. However he was the creator, does he not get to name it?
Don’t get me wrong it’s a hard g for me too but it’s not a fallacy tbh.
I won tell you you’re wrong just don’t say I’m wrong for saying with a soft g.
