and the company “Nike” is yelling “no it’s Nike! Like the god!”
So in this example, are they yelling it like their namesake is actually pronounced ( [niː́kɛː] , the i like in “flee”, the e like in “bad”), or in the english pronounciation (i like in “die”, e like in “flee”)?
Oh good! Someone that thinks there’s multiple ways to pronounce it. Thankfully wiktionary only has a single IPA pronunciation for both the shoe and the brand and they’re the same. ˈnaɪkiː. Though I do appreciate you pulling out the Ancient Greek pronunciation as a “gotcha”.

In English. It’s not even an english word though.
My point, which you seem to not understand, is that the company doesn’t define how the name is pronounced (especially if they would go “like the godess”). It was a word before they used it. And “gif” is an acronym first, regardless of what the creator of the image format might think.

They do. They created the product they get to create the pronunciation.
Are you talking about Nike or gif, cause gif was not a word before.
… this has no bearing on the pronunciation at all.
Okay, so common consensus is a valid source then?
Your arguments are inane. Please stop talking to me.
Generally “sane” people just stop talking to people they do not wish to hear from. When you don’t reply to people they tend to not reply back.
Talking to someone in order to say you don’t want to talk to them is…
I didn’t say insane, I said “inane”. Please learn to read.
Been working on that for 3 days have you? And decided that was worth talking to someone you previously indicated you don’t want to talk to?
