        There are several arguments for why it should be pronounced a given way and OP didn’t say any of them.

        I see you just picked your favorite to argue against.

    Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.

    My opinion, I always use a hard F.

        But the letter “G” has a soft “g” in its pronunciation. Otherwise, you’re talking about clarified butter.

    The only thing I know about this is that it’s unnecessary to start another “internet war” over how someone pronounced terms like this one, since both pronunciation are recognizable (even my friends often spelled in with different results thanks to their accents and our local language too)
