I took five years of French in high school and college. I can conjugate the shit out of a subjunctive clause, but hearing people speak French still sounds like szhluhblepluh.

To be fair, most French speakers would say the same thing when talking to Quebecois.

But that's because the French are assholes, loveable assholes but assholes nonetheless.

I've never met a friendlier group of people who are absolute snobs about proper pronunciation, except English majors who are super into Linux (arch, obv)

Now I’m just imagining that arch is pronounced unexpectedly. Please don’t correct me, I like my headcanon of “airtch.”

It differs even between Linux nerds, at least from my tiny anecdotal pool.

I say Arch like in archery, my best friend says it Arch like Arc or archangel.

Ok, but how do you pronounce GIF? And how often do you fight about that?

[-] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

It's pronounced “GIF”, obviously.
