- kokanee 2y agoI take issue with the options of "RAY-ghex" and "RAY-jeks." In my experience you can say either "REH-ghex" or "REH-jeks."

- drivingmenuts 2y agoYeah, thanks for not actually settling a damn thing with that description. The guy who created it says it with a soft G, so that's a reasonable authority to me. Anyone else, it's just their opinion.
