You mean the Sanon the Dork Lard?

Jandalf, yes I was once called that. Jandalf the Jray.

My giant giraffe agrees.

If you're still unconvinced, say "G"

The letter starts with the J sound.

Checkmate atheists.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

I may sound haughty and knowledgable when I say JiF then, but between just you and me, I didn't know a damn thing about this and just decided to say it this way in my brain for reasons that remain unclear.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Me too. I just always said it with a soft G because my brain told me that's how it was pronounced.

One thing I learned recently is that if GIF shall be pronounced "GIF" like the G in Graphical, JPEG shall be pronounced "JFEG" like the P in Photography

Just droppin that in

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do I look like I know what a JFEG is?

Would be the worst retroactive devaluation of a body of literary work since JK Rowling showed the world how she really is.

Orson Scott Card's gotta rank up there, too.

You can tell that’s fine art because it says it is.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Picasso did the same thing.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago
[-] blubton@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

No, Picasso, pronounced Pizza-so.

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Anyone who uses the argument that Graphical is pronounced with a hard G sound needs to think about how they pronounce other acronyms, like SCUBA, NASA, LASER, SONAR, POG, SIM... the list goes on.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I do say N(ay)SA to annoy people.

[-] halm@leminal.space 5 points 1 year ago

It's flattering that you think anybody knows what all of those acronyms actually stand for. I'm semi-certain of NASA, the rest could just be made up for all I know (as a non-native English speaker).

The genius Tolkien, ever generous, gestured for a round of gin martinis from his giant gentle giraffe. Over gentle murmurs from the crowd, I caught the gist of his speech: genuinely it’s pronounced Jandalf.
