    It'd interesting to see the results of a similar question about git. I want to see how many people actually say "jit"

    With a hard "g", but given that language has many layers of interpretation, I don't mind when people pronounce with a soft "g". Some people get really pissy about it though

    The creator of if says it with a soft g. Jeffrey Zeldman and many standards people also say it with a soft g. But I don't have to say it much these days because I never use them.
