The gif debate was always easily solveable - since it's short for Graphics Interchange Format - you don't spell (or pronounce) Graphics with a J.
My wife always calls me out on my pronunciation of 'Italian'. I say it 'eye-talian' - but she insists it's 'i-talian' (i as in idiot). She's right, of course...but I intentionally mispronounce it just to irritate her.
