Just a little FYI

[R3alJim Shady]

I've been watching a lot of reviews lately and it seems everyone is using Japanese organic cotton. Good choice. HOWEVER, it's not pronounced Koh JEN Do. It's Koh GEN Doh with a hard 'G'. G as in goat, not G as in genesis.

I'm partially Japanese and speak a little bit so this has been driving me up a wall.

OCD? Certainly. I just had to get it off my chest. Thanks everyone.

Well, since I'm an English speaking American I don't say España. I say Spain.

I vote we just start calling it "Bob"

Easy for most of us to pronounce

No I get it, I totally get it.
When talking to someone I have to judge their level of intelligence buy they mangle their words, so as not to completely talk over their heads.
When I am talking to someone and they sound like extras from idiocracy I know I am doomed, I cannot drop the concept that low, so I mimic them and move on.

Kind of like how people don't proof read their posts and make grammatical and punctuation errors. Sometimes even leaving out words.

Right, you call it a burrito when you order one, not a small donkey. Same principle here. I know it's not super important to everyone that they pronounce foreign words correctly, but i figured there may be someone out there who does.

Thanks for explaining this. This is the first time I'm hearing this. Good job.

I like learning stuff. I like screwing with people too.

Just like "GIF"' pics it's supposed to be a soft G Like JIF...I don't think you can stop the snowball now

How can there be a right or wrong way to pronounce an acronym?

I have to disagree, due to what the GIF stands for (Graphics Interchange Format).

OCD? Seems anal retentive is more appropriate.

Ok ok, we'll stick to the right part of the discussion.

Ahem.

Nobody gives a crap how the Japanese pronounce anything.

Tell Steve Wilhite the Inventor of the "GIF" that..Please watch the end

 

[Garemlin]

That is why I use Puff. So I don't have to worry if I am spelling or saying Koh Gen Do correctly.

 

[Garemlin]

And while we are on the subject.

Kayfun is actually Kay-foon

Taifun is actually Tey-foon


EHPro

Is it ee-eych-pro or ee-pro. I have heard it pronounced both ways.

Oh I thought it was Kayfun/Taifun were pronounced like Typhoon sounds. Learn something new every day.

And I think EH of EHPro are initials that stand for something. Not 100% on that, though.

Tai pronounced tahy
Fun pronounced foon

There is Chinese translation 101 for the day. LOL

I will second that motion. Every Body knows Bob, except my neighbor. He has to ask me every time we talk.

So I guess there were no established rules for the proper pronunciation of acronyms until the inventor of the GIF came along. I didn't know that. Apparently Merriam-Webster still doesn't.

So it's pronounced "Jraphics Interchange Format"?
