Forget "gif" vs "jif" debate. How does one pronounce "Forgejo"? (sh.itjust.works)

There's no universal "phonetic spelling."

Every language and its user have unique accent and they will intreprete phonitic spelling differently.

There is one, it's called the IPA or International Phonetic Alphabet and is used mostly by linguist. The IPA spelling changes based on dialects within the same language and if you know all the letters and are able to pronounce them you could in theory read a text written in IPA and the listener could understand it.
