HenroidMexican kicked from Immigration ThreadCentrism is Racism :3Registered Userregular
In all honesty, hearing the hard-g pronunciation of "gif" out loud sounds like people are trying to show off. Everyone I knew growing up said the soft-g.
I have friends who used to pronounce "Gauss rifle" like "gauze rifles", because they didn't know it was named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Of course, these same friends STILL (to this day) say "Nookyooler" instead of nuclear, so...

I prefer calling them moving pictures IRL because it avoids this whole charade where the hard G people pretend like they don't say the soft G in the privacy of their own home, because they don't want to risk angering the wrong person out in public.
Knowing full well what they're doing and the fakeness they put up in online discussion.
I've been saying gif with soft g for as long as gif has been a thing. I aint letting no whipper-snapper tell me how to pronounce things.

the rule for portmanteaus is you pronounce them like cut off versions of their constituent words, not strictly as written. This is to ensure meaning is preserved in the event that some cheeto-brained nerd came up with the official spelling, as with "lasgun".
This rule may only be broken if an alternative pronunciation is especially hilarious.

the reason we're still on GIFs is a powerful cabal of mobile phone companies conspiring to charge 14 year old girls hundreds in overage fees since every time they open their tumblr dashboard they get 3 gigs of Tom Hiddleston gifs
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Too confusing. Name it all Bruce.
Because you are going way further down the road of exaggerating the importance of the subject than anybody else is.

Somehow I managed to get an 8.1 image onto a thumbdrive and install it on blank unformatted HDD without any problems, and I'm a lawyer
You all remember SKFM's tech support tales, yes?
