Poll: how do you pronounce the prefix Giga?
-
- With a G, like in Garry
- With a G, like in Giraffe
-
Sorry for no GILE_NOT_FOUND option. It's getting old.
-
Gee-gah
-
Both, depending on the language I'm speaking at the moment.
-
Other options:
- With a G, like cough
- With a G, like eighth
-
Or like Gnome
but then it sounds racist
-
-
Funny, I have three different ways too depending on locale:
- en: as Giraffe
- es_ES: as jiga (ggggggiga)
- es_*: as yiga
-
-
es_ES: as jiga (ggggggiga)
Is that like the J in jalapeĂąos? Like the Gs in the Dutch pronunciation of van Gogh?The "stuck fish bone" pronunciation?
Saying "ggggggiga" didn't help.
-
-
As in girar
So... like in giraffe except, for our anglophone friends' reference, without the initially "d" sound?I assume you're talking about es_* pronunciation, but I don't really speak those languages.
The way I described is how I pronounce it in pt_PT.
Edit: https://translate.google.com/#en/es/spin is telling me it's like the J in jalapenĂľs aka "stuck fish bone".
-
I pronounce it "jija".
-
gih bih
-
Zhiga.
Not really.
-
Well, you could try pronouncing it as in âFlutebreath McSneerâ but that might be a bit confusing.
-
It's missing With a G, like in GIF.
-
Except that's supposed to be pronounced JIF...
-
Because the G stands for giraffics, right?
-
Because the G stands for giraffics, right?
Apparently, yes, though this was not how it was explained

A colleague of mine once used that argument to defend his pronunciation of OpenGL.OMG! Is it time for another poll? How do you pronounce OpenGL? How about OMG?
-
-
Open-Gee-Ell?
-
This is the only way, surely?
-
-
-
Or maybe Zecc meant "Ghee" instead of "Jee".
-
Isn't that how you're supposed to pronounce it?
I have no idea because when I'm actually talking to other human beings I tend not to talk about code so much... so I have never actually discussed this with another human being before.
-
OpenGlee?
OGEL?
-
-
Don't Stop beGleevin'?
-
-
Isn't that actually a 3D library that wraps around OpenGL?

I pronounce it Jee, the guy I mentioned pronounced "Ghee",because it stands for graphics, not jraphics
.

It's jetting late here, so jood night, everyone.

I pronounce it Jee, the guy I mentioned pronounced "Ghee", <q>because it stands for graphics, not jraphics</q>.
Grr-aphics not giraffics?

That's what he said.

Discourse doesn't think it's right for you.
-
You tell that idiot it's an acronym and to start saying it right.
-
Discourse doesn't think it's right for you.
It's not right for Zecc's cow-orker either. He's probably getting @chubertdev's notifications.

Like I'd know how to use IPA, since it's basically just writing it phonetically.
-
The nice part about lojban is that the IPA for lojban is lojban and the same pattern holds for every other word in the language.
-
But I don't speak lojban and have no intention to learn
