G as in gif
Every day we stray further from Jod
Uh, excuse me, “GOD” is actually an acronym for “Great Omniscient Deity”, so it’s actually pronounced /'paɪnæpl/.
I can’t read IPA, but choose to believe that’s pronounced ‘pineapple’
Jo fuck yourself, you knew what you were doing with your example. Now I’m irrationally angry at half the people in this thread.
Man, honestly. I thought using GIF as an example would be a funny way to illustrate this genuinely cool feature. I expected some craziness but not at this level. People comment with passion, holy hell.
I just thought throwing gasoline on the fire would make it become “wet fire”, I had no idea what I was doing!
I’m literally never going to Wikipedia again because of you.
You knew what you were posting and it’s funny.
I know, I’m one of them and I don’t like it, lol.
Know what’s funnier than you doing this on purpose? You stumbling into it face first. :)
I can get behind this.
If I die and meet JOD I’m gonna punch someone.
This belongs in shitpost. Bravo on on kicking the hornet’s nest.
We should find a solution everyone will hate. I suggest no more acronym and stick to initialism.
pronounce it “tshiff”
We could start arguing about how the ‘I’ is pronounced instead of the ‘G’. I vote we shake things up and go with a long e sound.
This is about the phonetics tooltip on Wikipedia, the GIF page is just for illustration, because that’s a phonetics topic that many people know.
TIL that you can link to an image using markdown in Lemmy with this syntax:
.THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR ILLUSTRATION AND NOT COMMENTARY.
Are you trying to start a fight?
Your choice of screen shot makes it look like a statement. Fortunately, you made the right choice.
The fact that the cursor points at the correct pronunciation is purely by accident.
Sure
‘g’ in ‘gin’
If you guys won’t get along we’ll have to compromise and go with the g in ‘rough’
I prefer the g in ‘though’ but not the g in ‘tough’
So, if?
I do love grin with no r
Another good choice! Cheers to that!
I didn’t know that it was pronounced Jraphic design.
alright start pronouncing it jfeg and lasir
Or like the u in scuba
Fair point.
Don’t forget JRAFIK JINTERJANJE JORMAT!
The only correct pronounce
G in gnat
G as in jack
You’re all wrong.
Gesus!
It’s a nice chord
We’d have to remix What If Jod Was One Of Us?
Not much would change, actually. The lyrics would be pretty much the same.
That was a nice read, thank you.
what if its actually pronounced with the dutch g?
Is it the one where you pretend to deepthroat a frikandel?
Pretend?
Aah I see there are depths to the Dutch spirit I’ve yet to uncover. All my encounters with the Dutch have been at a pre-canal-swimming drunkenness level.
Pretend?
If the entire internet was replaced with just wikipedia i don’t think I’d mind
good news! you can download the whole of wikipedia (minus the images) for a few gigs.
giggidy!
Sure, but the rest of the shithole would still be there.
Another gift from Wikipedia.
Don’t you mean a jift?
Of course guy is pronounced like juy.
