It can go either way; it's dialectal

[Edited on April 23, 2012 at 8:00 AM. Reason : though when prounounced /j/ I've usually heard it as a blend of y and j sounds like in "jacques"]

ah, ok... that makes sense.

^^ It's not a "j" so much as a "zh" sound, like in French words, but that's otherwise a pretty good distinction.

I thought this thread was about parallel lines.
