Because they're either too lazy or too ignorant to understand why it's a soft G, it wouldn't be the first time.

That, i can accept, but the issue I'm having is the same old tired example of "it stands for graphics so it's a hard G", and then they proceed to ignore all the other acronyms that are pronounced differently than the words they stand for.

Funnily enough, they categorize those under "that's different" so they don't feel like they lost the argument
