Fuck off troll, no one is buying your obvious bullshit.

Why would anyone ever interact with the police unless it was absolutely required? They’re not gonna care about your phone, and they might shoot your dog in the process.

ACAB

You should never ever ever purposefully attempt to interact with the police.

Have you tried aging past 8 years old?

Maybe, but reddit also bans anyone who isn’t a bot.

All the best scientific articles use phrases like “in living hell”.

So sciencey.

OP is the guy on the left but thinks they’re the guy on the right.

This is absolutely untrue.

The British never got off them.

I don’t think you understand what’s being discussed here.

“Ignoring everything else” lmao what other points have you made? I’ve shut down every part of everything you’ve said while you completely ignored my comment about how acronyms are not pronounced according to their constituents. You also completely ignored my point about “hook and loop tape” still being the most correct name, and how in any professional setting “velcro” would be insufficiently descriptive.

“doubling down on that one individual thing and ignoring everything else really goes to show that you literally have no answer” - irony

“A meme post that you are getting really weirdly upset over” - delicious irony

And you keep using the word neologism, but I don’t think you understand what it means. Brand names are not neologisms. You have given exactly 0 examples of neologisms.

I’m not trying to make you pronounce gif correctly, you can pronounce it wrong if you want, just don’t strut around acting like you’re saying it right when you’re clearly not.

Those are just brand names, completely irrelevant to the discussion. If you went around calling “hook and loop tape” “book and poop tape” you’d be wrong. Like you are now.

And no, the public doesn’t get to name it. They can call it whatever they like, but they don’t get to decide its correct name. Hook and loop tape is still called hook and loop tape, even if most people say velcro. Between the two names, “hook and loop tape” is the most correct. Velcro is a colloqualism.

If you were to write it in an essay or scientific paper, you would say “hook and loop tape”. If it was actually Velcro branded, you’d say “Velcro branded hook and loop tape”.

You’ve now twice attempted and failed to pass off a logical fallacy as an actual argument.

“In English the correct way to pronounce something is the way that will most reliably communicate your intended meaning to your intended audience without unintended ambiguity or distraction.”

This is simply untrue. There’s this thing called phonics, and dictionaries.

However, it is actually pronounced Jif so I agree with that part of your comment.

The tag line offered by the creator when they created the format was “choosey image users choose gif”.

It’s supposed to be pronounced like the peanut butter.

You’re right about one thing, though. We definitely can’t stop you from being completely wrong.

Willful ignorance will not serve you in life.

Acronyms don’t have to be pronounced the way their constituents are pronounced. Unless you’re going to walk around saying “Puh-Thyoos” instead of POTUS, your statement is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

The creator can’t be wrong, they created it. They get to name it. Not you.

Doesnt matter what the creator used it for. We still call them Corn Flakes and Vaseline. Thank you for proving my point.

The creator said its jif. That’s the end of the discussion.
