canon
It’s pronounced sanon btw
From the original çanon of course
It’s pronounced source.
You mean the Sanon the Dork Lard?
Jandalf, yes I was once called that. Jandalf the Jray.
Now I am Jandalf the Hwhite.
After smearing myself with chool hwip
Why do you keep saying it like that?!
My giant giraffe agrees.
If you’re still unconvinced, say “G”
The letter starts with the J sound.
Checkmate atheists.
I may sound haughty and knowledgable when I say JiF then, but between just you and me, I didn’t know a damn thing about this and just decided to say it this way in my brain for reasons that remain unclear.
Me too. I just always said it with a soft G because my brain told me that’s how it was pronounced.
Strange that I never got a notification for this. Hm.
I’ve always pronounced it that way for whatever reason, and when I learned that was the correct way I was very high and mighty, lol

Did you invent the word home? No? So you don’t get to decide how to pronounce it.

NASA is an acronym, not an initialism. And guess how the last letter of NASA is pronounced versus how the A in the corresponding word is pronounced. Ah vs Uh.

O.k.
Wait till you hear about ghoti…

Was it a gift?
Yeah, from a gyrating genie named George.
Jorge wants to have a word with you.
What does horhay want?
“Hiff”
Yes but actually no
Oh yeah? Well lick my gargantuan gorilla gonads.
(I’m actually team jif but can’t help myself)

It’s also pretty funny when it’s about actual product you will get corrected to the intended pronunciation, or at least, allowed because people acknowledge there might be multiple way of reading a word based on where you from. Like potato and tomato.

Good god Gordon go gag a gator
technically starts with the D sound
Now you’re just getting crazy
One thing I learned recently is that if GIF shall be pronounced “GIF” like the G in Graphical, JPEG shall be pronounced “JFEG” like the P in Photography
Just droppin that in
Do I look like I know what a JFEG is?
I just want a picture of a gosh dang JFEGdog
J’feg
If it was JPhEG sure.
Fuck this, double standards ftw
Is it pronounced jilf then as well?
My name is jgef

Would be the worst retroactive devaluation of a body of literary work since JK Rowling showed the world how she really is.
Orson Scott Card’s gotta rank up there, too.
True
I really don’t think JK Rowling revealed who she really was. I think she demonstrated what too much money does to someone.
Nah, you become overconfident, callous and indifferent to the suffering of others from amassing extreme wealth.
Bigotry and pretending to be the victim of those you victimize is income-agnostic.
Good point. I guess it’s a case of “a little of column A and a little of column B.”
You can tell that’s fine art because it says it is.
Picasso did the same thing.
Jicasso?
No, Picasso, pronounced Pizza-so.
Anyone who uses the argument that Graphical is pronounced with a hard G sound needs to think about how they pronounce other acronyms, like SCUBA, NASA, LASER, SONAR, POG, SIM… the list goes on.
I do say N(ay)SA to annoy people.
It’s flattering that you think anybody knows what all of those acronyms actually stand for. I’m semi-certain of NASA, the rest could just be made up for all I know (as a non-native English speaker).
Kinda hard to forget SCUBA. Self contained underwater breathing apparatus

The great Anglo-Saxon wizard, Ġandalf
And Elrond is Hispanic elf
“Sauron’s eye was supposed to be a gigantic vagina”
Sauron’s whispering eye.
Sauron’s vag
What if he was evil because he wasn’t getting any and his best attempt at making a medieval fleshlight kinda backfired.
One demussy to rule them all
comes back
Bilbo is gay!
dies
comes back
Nazgul are just men in dresses!
not canceled cause that’s true
Sauron actually do shit but he’s so powerful the shit disintegrated when it comes out.

All letters before A are silent.
Dango Unchained
Ah yes, my favorite movie
Gneiss!
Aragorn: You have my sword.
Legolas: And you have my bow.
Gimli: And my HAX.
I love Lejolas and Jimli’s gokes.
So his name was always Jim

Guess we need to remake the trilogy.
Hollywood’s probably working on that anyway.
They wouldn’t dare…
You don’t know Hollywood very well.
It will have 1 hour 30 minutes of Sam Merry and Pippin argue about potaeto and potahtoe. And Sauron will spend his time mentioning all the genders and races and gods can’t kill him while he got stabbed in his face.
Maybe this time they can put in some GOD DAMN TOM BOMBADIL
Without the R???

The genius Tolkien, ever generous, gestured for a round of gin martinis from his giant gentle giraffe. Over gentle murmurs from the crowd, I caught the gist of his speech: genuinely it’s pronounced Jandalf.
Jandalf the Drey.
