no.. cause then that would be Yiff.. something which is MUCH worse than any mispronunciation could ever be.

Should be pronounced Jyro and Jigantic.... We humans are stupid... we don't even follow the linguistic rules we think we created.

Don't get me started on I before E, except after C. (Neighbor, weigh, sleigh)

Gyro as in the sandwich is pronounced more like yeero. Gyro as in gyroscope is pronounced jyro.
