I was trying to end this asinine debate and get back to posting "pics that sometimes make me slightly smile" but since the topic won't be dropped:

Just because he invented the .gif doesn't mean he gets to reinvent the English Languange:

—unless of course you happen to care about the continued degradation of the English language in a slang-obsessed age.

 

I agree with the article's conclusion -- it's obvious to anyone with a background in the evolution of the English language that this ought to be a hard G -- but this closing emphatic premise is simply laughable.  All ages of all languages are "slang-obsessed", and the idea that that means the language is being degraded is simply wrong. All it means is that the language is evolving. And evolution is not a linear march to perfection, it's just a description of change over time. It's neither better nor worse, it simply is.

That gif creator seems like the type of person that would be Jeff with a “G” (Geoff).

[futureman 22411]

everyone with an ounce of sense understands it’s a soft ‘g’ and we can leave it at that.  but to some of you, just know that willful ignorance is a disease.

I would think the dude who invented the thing gets to determine how to pronounce it. He says J.

what do we mostly use gifs for?  the fact that Futureman is a soft g guy just confirms it's a troll job, all the way.

My daughter waits tables here in North Carolina, and she had a customer tell her, "You must not be from the South if you don't know how to pronounce pee-can." She replied, "I am from Texas, where we know more about how to use pecans than anyone on Earth, and it's 'pecan', not 'pee-can'."

She was raised right, even if she doesn't know how to maximize tips.

Her next retort can be (as my grandmother's was, and she should know, as a direct descendant of Austin's Old 300), "well, where I come from, a pee can is something you keep under the bed.  Would you like that kind of pie?  Bless your heart."

I'd love to hear how "an ounce of sense" leads to the inevitable conclusion of a soft g sound.

I spent 22 years in that industry and went from busboy to GM & wine director. I can absolutely tell you that a table here and there doesn't mean jack shit to a server's bottom line. 
Some fuckers have to be educated. Your daughter was raised right.

It’s the same principle that GOB is pronounced with a soft g because the g stands for George.

I was 40 years old before I realized that old people aren’t being nice when they say “Bless your heart.”

South Austin's mom does not have bit roles.  She has huge roles (for her huge holes) in bit movies.

Define “stay put.”  It can go backwards. It can go forward until it hits the lip of the treadmill, which isn’t very far. It can’t take off, not nearly enough room. And even if it did, the wingspan is larger than the treadmill panel supports.

Nope, not done.  The g in gif should be pronounced the same as the g in graphics.  Doing it differently is just stupid.

Do you pronounce Scuba with the soft U of "Underwater?? What about NASA? Do you say "A" as in "Aeronautics?
