Since I didn't want to sully the pictures thread with controversial videos...
Let's kick this off right:
[2016-05-10: changed the title to be less confrontational, because we don't want to foster arguments, only discussions!]
Daaaaaang.
Dees thread was made first (funny how these came one right after another), so I'm gonna *cough* here. On the other hand this one got more responses for some reason, so, I dunno.
Plus, Dee's thread is properly capitalized. I suggest using that one instead.
Huh, witchcraft is wayyyy easier than I thought! Sweet!
The Horns movie was also released on media sites like Amazon for those that missed it in theaters.
He mispronounces '.gif'! Everything he argues is incorrect!
I was actually sick to my stomach to learn that the guy who *invented* the gif format pronounces it "jif". Deeply bothered me...
Of course there are exceptions, but...
When c or g meets a, o, or u, its sound is hard.
When c or g meets e, i, or y, its sound is soft.
All you hard-g "gif" people are just wrong.
I pronounced it with a hard G from birth until the guy corrected everyone. Still took months for "jif" to sound normal.

So how did it feel to be wrong from birth, Wrongy McWrongerson?
Bad.
All these "jif" people getting their peanut butter in my chocolate. I won't change!
I've been JIF since the early 90s, and I'm not going to change my verbal stripes any time soon.

"Get" and "girl" are pretty common exceptions... I suspect most English words with Germanic roots would use a hard G regardless of the following vowel...

Wait a minute the sentence "I'm going to get on a jet plane" doesn't have a homophone in it?
Jou know it doesn't...
