    That’s my point. If everyone pronounces a word a certain way, THAT is its correct pronunciation. The first person to say a thing doesn’t get to tell everyone else they’re wrong.

    Everyone started using the word “literally” to mean figuratively, so the official definition changed to mean either or.

    Everyone says GIF similar to gift, then that’s the proper pronunciation. Creator has no say.
