wait you say it with a hard g? I always think it should be "vij" as in the original full name of "vigilante"

but then you get to talking about plurals like "vigs" and I dont know any more

Hard G. Clipping adheres to general phonemic rules instead of hanging on to the sounds from the original word. Same with basically all shortenings. Hence it being “TeeVee” not “TehVi”.

that has nothing in common with the vig situation! The TV thing didn't either! If English didnt have such dumb non-phonetic spelling anyway, there wouldn't even be any question about it being shortened to vij!

This is disingenuous!

Yah except /g/ or [g] is the hard sound so when you spell it like that a normal human brain operating under phonetic principles will default to that.
