NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE FOURTEEN! Part One!

I'm still working from yesterday morning, so please excuse the brevity.

Hill to Die On: It's pronounced "jif."

The man who invented the format says it's pronounced that way, so that's what it is.

I regret to inform you that the inventor man is wrong.

Guy should have done some advertising or something because 9 out of 10 people say his shit the wrong way. That's a bit of a kick in the face for that fella.

It’s gif, because good ones are like opening a well received gift

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

HE NAMED IT "GRAPHICS INTERCHANGE FORMAT"

THAT'S ALL HE GETS TO DECIDE

HE DOESN'T GET TO CHOOSE HOW ACRONYMS WORK

"TODAY WE'RE ANNOUNCING THE CREATION OF THE 'AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE', WHICH WILL BE SHORTENED TO 'ATM', BUT PRONOUNCED 'SPONGEBOB'"

I DONT THINK SO

I WANT JOJO THROWN OUT OF THE QUACKVERSE IMMEDIATELY

Great pick jojo not for content reasons but for riling up the troops reasons.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I recognize that the word is "jif," and I can only wish that I were strong enough to not pronounce it "gif."

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock. He has a horrible triumvirate of crap for us to set on fire and stomp, but who will be the fourth, and when will we see it through the Fog? Only the Shadow knows. The Shadow in this case is Rebel. I guess that's obvious. I'm quite tired. @Asnito is on deck. We haven't heard from him in a while, so hopefully he is doing OK. After he goes twice and Rebs hits his bank shot, @BernieParent gets his next shot from the lido deck. Bernardo has already filled his cauldron with six whole shitbags and seven tons of spite, so he will have to go into the non-musical categories to spread his ire around. It is VERY exciting. CanadianFlyer88 is on the lido afterdeck, and that scares me for a lot of reasons.

One of the chickens is blind now. I think. It's hard to see their eyes sometimes, especially when they are chicken hawks or whatever you call them, because their head feathers are kind of like a headress that Chief Sitting Bull might have worn on formal occasions like meeting with the treacherous United States government. Death to America? Sure, but not because of that. I mean, if you think about it, handing Native Americans dirty, nasty blankets is only almost as bad as signing Nate Thompson in the Year of Our Lord 2020, and then AGAIN in the Year of Our Lord 2021. If that's even what happened. I'm starting to wonder if the #DarkestTimeline is just f***ing with my mind - is it really believable that all these things could really happen to one organization? Really? I'm not so sure.

I’m with you most of the way, but it’s a MAC machine.

Even the word 'graphics" starts with the "guh" sound. It's not Jraphics Interchange Format, nor even Giraffics Interchange Format. This guy is out to lunch.

It's actually pronounced "mace".

When it comes to computers, trust Jojo. You can say the word however you want, but you don't question Jojo.

What he’s not well versed in (although he surprises us sometimes) is pop culture and the gif is no longer a computer thing but a pop culture thing.

When you're creating a file format like that, you actually do create the file extension. In this case, that would be .gif. You're quoting the man with extra steps. You can change it if you want, but you can't tell him he's wrong.

Pop culture decides things now? Just tell me where to send your Lebron jersey.

We're on a train now that can't be stopped. Pop culture can get words added to the dictionary, they sure as shit can changed the pronunciation of a word despite the inventors wishes.

Please don't send that to him. I get all his hand-me-downs, even though I am more than twice as old as he is, and I don't want it.

He can pick whatever letters he wants, but he can't choose how the English language properly pronounces them.

If he instead made it a .poo file, we'd pronounce it it "poo" because that's what it spells. Even if he claimed it was still pronounced "jif".

Are you sure you want to hang your hat on the "rules" of the English language? G is usually pronounced like a J when it's followed by an E, I, or Y. Look at that beautiful I standing there taunting you.

What you're missing here is that I was going to use Lizzo or Kanye and decided to be nice.

Gifs are gifts that give us gigabytes of giggles.

As you well know, English is full of contradictions and exceptions. It's a dogshit, nonsensical language and I wouldn't use its structure as the basis for an argument. But if you want to, use the commonality over the corner cases.

Sometimes, but not always.

If I bought my grandmother a birthday present and she said "Thank you for that thoughtful jift" she'd be catching these hands before she could drop her cane.

Nowhere in my posts have I said "Talk shit, get hit," has been revoked. There were growing pains, but we came together in the end.
