Why do all unixes and unix likes have fucked up pronounciations?
Windows - windows
Mac OS - Mac oh ess

And unixes:

What's so difficult to understand about a roman numeral?
>>54584876
poo-in-loo-boon-too

because why not write it in fucking arab numberals? this is 2016, not 16.
And there are other problems - like the previous version was called os ten ten dot ten dot four

They used "arab" numerals until version 9, then for 10 they decided to be edgy and use the roman X and they've stuck with it ever since. Even though the first OS X and the latest are about as different as Windows XP is from Windows 10.
Also the i in the original iMac stood for internet, it wasn't a personal pronoun.

It's fucking ksubuntu. Or else, why would the put a fucking X (ie KS sound)??
>>54586173

in some languages x is z. Or ch. Or sh. Or h. Or ten, if looked as a number. Poor X.

That webm is wrong, the original word is irrelevant. JPEG is Joint Photographic Experts Group, pronounced jay-peg despite Photographic being pronounced "fotography".
Although, GIF is absolutely pronounced with a hard G, fuck the creator, the dude is a whoreson.
>>54586785
>>54586505
It doesn't matter what the creator said.
What if the creator said "gif" is pronunced FISHNIGGER.
You wouldn't follow him either.
The people have spoken: it's ggggiffff

It's unices, not unixes.
also BSD is illogical, how would you fucking pronounce that without stuttering? bee-es-dee is the only logical option.
UNIX is faster and easier to say than spell it out.
>>54586505
“However, the pronunciation with a hard g is now very widespread and readily understood. A coiner effectively loses control of a word once it’s out there…”
I wish we could concentrate all of the idiots that pronounce gif with a hard G in some sort of camp and pit them to labor for the benefit of our great nation.
>>54586912

Do you pronounce the H in John? Do you just go around mispronouncing shit because you think your way is better? You're a real bad ass, aren't you. What about table? Tay-blay? Tay-blow? Wtf is wrong with you? Go swallow your kids.
>>54586862
>>54586816
Well, the creator went against convention for a written word that is rarely spoken aloud. The overwhelming majority of words that start with a g use the hard "gee" sound, not the soft j sound. Go ahead and check. When the word begins with g, the soft j sound is most common when the second letter is e, which is not the case here.
If someone does something retarded, you don't back that person up on it and act like everyone else is stupid for following the general convention of the language.

You're agreeing with me right?
>>54586984
"If you feel compelled to honor the pronunciation given by the GIF’s creator out of some sense of obligation, that’s perfectly fine too."
Can't we all just get along? Embrace me, brother!

I do it as "Ark" as in "Noah's Ark"

Knowledge is knowing that GIF is pronounced jif. Wisdom is saying gif anyway.
>>54587099
I think people should say the word however they like, but deferring to the authority of a retard that disregards the conventions of a language and confuses everyone for like 20 years so that he can make a peanut butter joke is fucking stupid.
Say jif if you want, but don't act like you deserve a gold star for doing so.
>>54587112
There's already an Ark Linux though

GNOME is pronounced NOME. I don't give a fuck what an infographic says.
gnome is a word that we have in the English language. You don't say garden guh-nome.
>>54587157
GNU-ome tho
>>54587157
it's inherited from GNU. It makes sense.
>>54584876
>missing the point of language
>>54587187
Gno it doesn't. A gnome is already a thing - nobody in their right mind sees "GNOME" and doesn't immediately think of "gnome".
>>54587136
Damn, bruh. Got fries for that salt?
>>54587343
>nobody in their right mind sees "GNOME" and doesn't immediately think of "gnome".
I guess it depends on whether you have Stallman's dick in your ass at the time.
>>54587187
>it's inherited from GNU. It makes sense.
So why is the logo a gnome's foot?
>>54587356
allow me to respond in your idiot speak
bye, felicia
>>54587483
I didn't choose the logo, so I don't know. But also, I've never looked at that logo and thought "that's a gnome foot." Anyway, if you have a problem with words that are spelled the same way, but pronounced differently and have different meanings, I have bad news for you in the form of homographs.
Language was made for man, and not man for language. To argue that most people say something incorrectly is silly, because the language is defined by what people say.
>>54587558
>Anyway, if you have a problem with words that are spelled the same way, but pronounced differently and have different meanings
>have different meanings
You weaseled the last part in.
GNOME and gnome both mean "gnome".
And it's obviously a gnome's foot. It has four toes...
>>54586173
the creator can say whatever the fuck he wants, it's pronounced gif.
No how I know? Because it's spelled gif not jif.
