The letter G itself is pronounced "jee".

Soe Wee shud spel ahll owur werds funehtikly? And if uh werd iz nott speld funehtikly itz rong?

Because that's ridiculous. You know perfectly well that letters can make different sounds depending on the word. Stop being obtuse.

Pretty sure the joke is that he wants to make money, not reduce the number of vehicles.

This is anti-meter, not anti-car.

There's a difference between letting people enjoy things and someone being completely unwilling to even consider trying something new for a myriad of bad reasons. Not saying this is the case here, but I see how OP could see it that way.

The tag line provided by the creator when the format was created back in 1987 was "choosey image users choose gif" Clearly a parody of a similar tag line from Jif peanut butter.

You are incorrect.

It's jif.

Whether the people give af or not is irrelevant. If the founder(s) of the town intended it to be pronounced Purcellville, the people are wrong. If the founder(s) said percuhville, then they're not wrong.

Look friend, be wrong if you want. That's your prerogative.

The french didn't create the word "soleel", the founder of the garden center didn't name his business "soleel", the word "soleel" does not exist. Everyone who uses the word "soleel" is wrong. Usage is irrelevant, the creator gets to decide. Period. It's jif. Be wrong or be right, your call. Just own your decision.

You mean you guys haven't been saying "puh-thyoos" all this time?

Sir or madam or otherwise, that is not how words work.

I once saw a garden center with the french word "soleil" (pronounced "so-lay") in the name, everyone in the area pronounced it "so-leel", but just because the French don't kick down the doors and correct people doesn't make "so-leel" any less incorrect. There is a correct and an incorrect way to say words, frequency of usage is irrelevant.

You clearly didn't even read the whole comment. Acronyms do not need to be pronounced according to their constituent words.

The creator says it's jif. That's it. That's the end of the discussion. You don't get to decide which is correct. The end.

You can say gif if you want, you'll be wrong, but you can say it.

"I've invented a thing! I call it a cup!"

You: "wow I love chup, everyone come look at this cool chup"

Doubling down on being wrong just makes you double wrong.

My giant german friend George Gerard gestates and raises giraffes in genuine need of gentle geriatric care. Such a gentleman.

It's jif.

I'm not, and I'm condemning those that are.

"Who gives a shit?" is my question exactly.

And it would seem the answer is you. You mistake my irritation for passion because you are projecting your own emotions.

OP, this is the correct answer. It's being downvoted because the people who are definitely not giant pedophiles are in this thread slinging bullshit.

This image clearly exists, and how!

Real.

You have no point to prove! You're just ranting like a crazy person about stuff no one's heard of that doesn't even matter!

I'm not sure what your point is? Some people not knowing a certain obscure unit of measurement doesn't discount an entire system of measurements. Also your mile example doesn't make sense because most people do know how many feet are in a mile.
