    And the person we’re responding here to also uses an example of language that evolved to what it is over a 300 year period FROM changes that happened between language barriers - native to Spanish to English (of which there are 2 variations).

    The hard G or soft are pronounceable by the majority of the world. It’s not really a language barrier or change - it’s just inability to admit that maybe they were wrong in how they read it in their head and make the verbal change when evidence is provided.

    With that said, they can continue to pronounce it with a hard g but it’s just being obstinate at this point.
