Honestly who cares at the end of the day, even if one is technically correct enough people pronounce it the "wrong" way that it's like trying to unpop a baloon

I pronounce "salmon", "solder", "colonel", "victual", "gunwale", "vineyard", and "indict" all phonetically. I still insist that they're alternative pronoucniations and not "wrong ways to pronounce them". If that's the case, then say "GIF" however the hell you want.

You should never say 'worcestershire sauce ' in public, you'll cause a riot.

Since the whole Michael Bublé Bubly advertisements, I like to say Googlé just to watch people roll their eyes.
