IDGAF
he didnt create the word graphic
the fact that he chooses to mispronounce something obvious should have no bearing on how I pronounce it

Both the one- and two-syllable pronunciations of forte are now considered standard.
Men putting dicks in each others buttholes is also considered standard now. Doesn't make it correct.

P.S.: Gif is pronounced "jif", like the peanut butter. There is no hard "g"
Correct. The g stands for jraphics

You are correct. OP is wrong.
Meh.
quote:
The creators of the format pronounced GIF as "jif" with a soft "G" /'d??f/ as in "gin". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials
The hard g makes as much sense as pronouncing KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) as "nit" or PAL (Phase Alternating Line) as "fal".
The pronunciation of an acronym is not dependent on the pronunciation of the underlying words that create the acronym.

A similar situation is with dictionary definitions evolving over time. For example, the word "literally" actually now has the figurative usage of the word in the definition since literally everyone use it incorrectly.
Same thing has happened to the word peruse. It originally meant (and still technically) means to read intently. However, enough idiots have used it to mean to glance over something quickly and that has become an accepted definition.

This thread is pettily pedantic.
Take your Subject for example.
That should be every day instead of everyday, but does it really matter for any substantive reason?
Everyday vs. every day
Yes, it is.
irregardless

Does it matter if someone chooses to use irregardless instead of regardless? Not to me.

Is it kinda gay to ask yourself a leading question and then answer it? Yeah, it really is.

You didn't mention any time periods, but this isn't because of some new misuse in the vernacular.

I only answered the question for myself. It's an opinion. And I don't care what you think is "gay".

The one that gets me is "Seen". I think whatever channel shows Mountain Monsters makes people sign a waiver that they cannot use the word "Saw".
"I seen him crossing the river". "I think they seen us already".
The incorrect use of seen and saw really bothers me.

There are way too many people in La. who have no idea when to use past participle.

I'm told I add extra syllables to a lot of words but it's just the accent
