is it pronounced "gif" or "gif"

Tachyon

. . . also, yes, 'gif' is not a word i say very often, and it probably wouldn't be that hard to change how i say that particular word, and i got kinda worked up and i'm sorry.

i still don't see why i needed to be insulted for it.

"Gif" doesn't belong to you. It isn't yours, and it's not your fight.

Your feelings matter, but they don't tell you everything.

On the other side of the coin: Why should only your feelings matter?

1. Obviously I am going to only consider my feelings, the same way that any one person considers only their own feelings.

2. Even if we were considering everybody's feelings, I'm the only one who seems to feel strongly one way or the other.

Why do you feel the need to fight for this? Why do you need for things to be this way?

Glenn McCoy's interpretation of his work is that he's a comedic paragon who sees the world as it really is. Your interpretation of his work is that he's a raving asshole.

Because I pronounce it with a soft g, and I need to show people I'm right.

I have the creator of the format on my side, but people are willing to disregard him and go with whichever pronunciation is more popular.

I can't support descriptivism if it means my favored pronunciation loses.

Once again, your entire argument is based around what the creators want, yet you fully admit that you don't care about what the creators want if it's not what you want.

These thoughts do not go together.

people are not uniformly sociopathic

I don't like talking to you like this because these are things I refuse to believe you don't already know

well maybe we'd be better off if they were

One-Winged Eagle

One, you can't accept our arguments, and ignore them. Fine, whatever. These things take time.

Two, you assume everyone only considers only for themselves.

Three, 94 new means that yes, people other than you feel strongly about it. Honestly, can you read tone at all, or do you just not want to today?

Four, you don't get to play that card. That card right there, the post right above me. Not now.

I'm done too. It's the stupid hours of the morning, and I should sleep.

the line gets blurry sometimes and i think a lot of people have this conflict within themselves but

yes? yes. this is a thing that happens. 

Klinotaxis

tbh if this were anyone else i would have closed the thread by now but I worried that since I was the one doing the arguing it would come off as me trying to shut down people telling me I'm wrong

Tachyon

imo lock it

but kinda ditto at this point
