Or maybe like in the word "garage"

Pronouncing it as "gif" is wrong on so many levels...

What's wrong about that? The English language is giving us clear instructions as to the pronunciation via how the word is written:

G as in "gnarly"; I as in "dive"; and F the same way that letter is pronounced in the word "cough"

Easy, right?
