Almost all of the gifs on here don't make sense to me. I don't know what movies or shows they're from or what they're supposed to mean.

I do know that Mario Williams was a good signing.

Just wanted to see if you understand this one.  ?

I do and I pronounce it the "wrong" way; i.e., with a hard g.

Sounds like the correct way to me

I think the inventor of the format uses a soft g though.

Everyone I know uses the hard g , never hear anyone say jif.

I am solidly in the "solid G" camp. I had to slow my roll considerably, though, when I learned that the inventor of this file type came out and said that it was supposed to be pronounced jiff.

That's accurate. It's always intended and should be JIF... ?  I've never said it any other way.

In that case, he should have learned how to spell it.

The son of a minister, Nathan Peterman has always had a close relationship with God. His father, Chuck, founded Creekside Christian Church outside of Jacksonville. For Peterman, his father’s advice comes through the spirit by which they live.

“That’s who we are, and I don’t think you have to be a pastor to do that either,” Peterman said. “That’s just our whole life. I don’t think there’s a separation between the world and the Christian world. We see the world through that lens. Every talk we have I count myself lucky to have that great advice from him that I know is coming from the best advice ever written on Earth. I’m so thankful for my dad I can’t even put it into words.”

The problem with this statement is that that's simply not how acronyms work. I guarantee you that you don't pronounce laser, scuba, snafu, fubar, awol, radar, HMMWV, NATO, or any dozens of other examples by their full form pronunciations.

[SwampD]

You mean it's not pronounced schubuh?

 

Who knew?

Awol is the only one of those that starts with a different sound than the initial letter represents.

The only correct answer to the question of our age is "the opposite pronunciation of whomever just said it"

Getting tickets to a Georgia Bulldogs game down in Atlanta, looking at 9/1 or 9/15 (Austin Peay or Middle Ten.) First big college game and first time in Atlanta, anyone have recommendations? @GASabresIUFAN @LGR4GM

I'll be at both games.  Message me how long you'll be in town.  The games are in Athens, about 75 minutes NE of the ATL.  Athens is a great college town.  All football weekends are busy, but really fun.  I'd recommend staying in Athens if you can get a room at a decent price.

GIF - pronounced same as Jif.

Sweet yeah I'll let you know which game we decide on

He should pray to become a better quarterback.

[Doohicksie]

I'd rather he just work hard at it.

[inkman]

I don't think hard work or Jeebus will improve that noodle arm.

See, this is why I never save files as a .GIF, always a .JPG...or is that .JPEG?  Dang!

gist

giant

gin

giraffe

ginseng

ginger

gingerly

gigantic

and those are just the words that start with 'gi'.  Plenty more have 'gi' with soft g in the middle.
