id=\"Dictionary_Definition\"><\/span>Dictionary Definition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A&nbsp;<strong>gem<\/strong>&nbsp;is typically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A&nbsp;<strong>precious stone<\/strong>&nbsp;like a&nbsp;<strong>diamond<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>ruby<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>emerald<\/strong>, or&nbsp;<strong>sapphire<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A&nbsp;<strong>semiprecious stone<\/strong>&nbsp;used

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to dictionary definitions, a gem can also describe a person or thing that is especially wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat little caf\u00e9 is a&nbsp;<strong>hidden

cases,&nbsp;<strong>Jem<\/strong>&nbsp;is used as a&nbsp;<strong>proper noun<\/strong>, such as a person\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One famous example is&nbsp;<strong>Jem

\u201cGem\u201d?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest reason is&nbsp;<strong>pronunciation confusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English spelling doesn\u2019t always match pronunciation, and&nbsp;<strong>gem<\/strong>&nbsp;is a classic example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-soft-g-sound\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Soft_%E2%80%9CG%E2%80%9D_Sound\"><\/span>The Soft \u201cG\u201d Sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>g<\/strong>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<strong>gem<\/strong>&nbsp;makes a&nbsp;<strong>soft G sound<\/strong>, which sounds exactly like&nbsp;<strong>j<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>gem<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>giant<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>general<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>giraffe<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these words sound like they begin with&nbsp;<strong>j<\/strong>, even though they are spelled with&nbsp;<strong>g<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a common&nbsp;<strong>phonetic spelling<\/strong>&nbsp;problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People hear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote
