You absolutely get to. Whether it's the best choice can depend though. My name is Andrea, and if got got upset about how strangers pronounce it, I'd spend way too much time being upset.

That's the way my doctor sister says it too. It's also how I pronounced it until I was corrected. But people who correct you aren't always right. 🤷‍♀️

Wait, a cleaning product? To me it’s peanut butter.

“Jif" sounds to me like the peanut butter. But I agree it's a silly thing to gets upset over.

Really, that’s the hill you’re going to die on? It’s an acronym, with 2 distinct ways it could logically be pronounced, each with a lot of strong advocates. Life’s too short to be all irritated about it.

Also, language changes,…

I really miss that show.

I really want to see a picture of the naked turkey now
