    From what I understand, it's supposed to be "Craik" but my brain still calls it "cluhrake" most of the time. C K works too!

    I've always called it "C-L-raik". Like I just say the first two letters as if they were letters by themselves, and then pronounce the rest "rake" lmao.

    I pronounce it like "clraik" as its written, but sometimes my brain says "clairk" for some reason.

    I am a little obsessed with a certain yellow sponge.

    The jif vs gif debate was eventually settled by the founder of the file type. I guess only the founders have the correct pronunciation. However, my brain pronounces it as "cleric". I'm 100% sure it's not correct, but for some reason that's how my brain reads it.
