For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
If it were meant to be pronounced ‘giff’ as in ‘goober’, it would have been spelled that way. You decide to turn an initialism into an acronym, you get what you get.
I would like to buy you a nice jift
Fair enough, LOL, though the second half of my comment still holds. I also need to buy some gin for my giraffe.
I’d like to see that. Post it in jraphics interchange format.
I was thinking a Joint Fotographic Experts Group format.
If you take video, post it as an MPEJ.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally turn it into an MPREJ.
I hope it’s a giraffe
Giraffics Interchange Format or Graphics Interchange Format? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF
Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus or Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Apparatus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving)
That’s the problem with this debate, for every argument, the counter argument is just the same thing but a different example! The only argument that remains is “the creator said so” vs “so what he’s lame”
Maybe a nice stuffed jiraffe?
It always WAS an acronym. That’s the entire point of the argument. "G"raphics "I"nterchange "F"ormat.
Nobody turned it into an acryonym, it just IS an acronym. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. The reason it’s pronounced with a hard G is because Graphics is a hard G.
And Photographic is pronounced as /f/, yet we don’t insist on JPhEG or JFEG. Language is weird, and people often decline to create an acronym from a set of initials that could theoretically be one (“CIA”), or make an acronym where it may not initially seem natural (“HMMWV”).
Choosy nerds choose gif, soft G. :-)
It’s my favourite battle. And when the war against AI comes, it’ll be because the AI will make a final decision and then decide the other side needs to be ultimately defeated.
