I still pronounce it as “n-jinx” in my head.

I laughed out loud when I first learned that imgur is supposed to be pronounced as "imager’… well you fuckin chose the wrong combination of letters for that didn’t ya
Am I missing something? I’ve always pronounced it “imager”. How else would you pronounce it?
as it’s spelled: im gur.
It’s one thing to name it imgr, but putting a fucking u after the g makes it a hard g in literally every instance. the letter u is the reason the g is pronounced as a hard g in words that otherwise wouldn’t need a u: fragile / guile, digest / guest, etc.
1000% I say gif too, like gift. If you wanted it pronounced like “jiff” then you should have spelled it with a J.
Or with a Đ.
