      Thanks. The “hard” / “soft” terminology has never made sense to me, it’s always felt very arbitrary as to which is which. Also useless in the explaining the correct pronunciation of “gif”

        English is a silly language. And you’re right i don’t know of any rules, asides from it just being innate I suppose!
