So like girls, give, gift etc?

Again, flimsy argument at best. There are numerous exceptions and its not a rule.

Any argument that insinuates the arguer has more authority than the creator of the term is moot. Pronounce it however you want, but the official preferred method is with a soft g. This is a non-issue.

Mike "Forever 4th place" Ross.

 

[Omnicent]

Mike "4th place" Ross :/

edit: Uh oh. Lemme fix my face.

[Beckx]

You died as you lived Mike.

 

[Edgeward]

the world is safe again and order is restored.

 

[MisterLuffy]

Damn that was tense.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Heartbreaker man.

 

[MrDaravon]

Mike utterly collapsed there.

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Mike is so fucking salty.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

That was tragic. =(

The general rule for hard 'g' vs soft 'g' is this. If the letter following 'g' is 'i', 'e' or 'y' it's a soft 'g'. Like Gym.

There are lots of exceptions though which results in words like girl.

 

[Haunted]

wow he looks fucking salty sitting there

4th place is probably the worst possible outcome for him at this point. :lol

 

[Village]

Damnit mike...

 

[Dartastic]

Did he actually just get fourth place? Hahahaha

But the US government says otherwise. Enzo can say whatever cause he's in Canadia. But if you're in the U S of A you best be pronouncing it with a hard G.

Cause America is hard you heard?

How long is the stupid gif argument gonna last?

 

[El Sloth]

God damn it, Mike. Rooting for you is like rooting for the Jets.

Ultra "hereforth wrong about everything forever" David.

Look at the sway David has over us. His goal was always to divide us.

 

[Edgeward]

Until Marvel is patched

How long is the stupid gif argument gonna last?

I've been seeing people argue about it on Facebook and Twitter for weeks now, so probably a while.

 

[enzo_gt]

Yes, but they're vowels... Gift ends with a consonant. T doesn't change the pronunciation of the preceding syllable.

Ban and bank.

Though yeah this is probably shitting up the thread for gif/jif argument #38464. Ill stop.

 

[The Light]

you guys have the most odd discussions haha.

 

[Dahbomb]

Not flimsy if you read the bottom half of my post where I talk about rules in the English language.

Your pretty good at essays, you should know how many valid exceptions the language has.

The number of exceptions to rules is exactly why its dumb to latch on to one "team" of pronunciation. That's the point I was making by playing devil's advocate, the argument is flimsy on both ends.

 

[El Sloth]

Shouta, I would like to formally request a tag for UltraDavid: "Soft 'G'"

 

[Dahbomb]

I better not see next week's thread title claiming one pronunciation over the other... It needs to be Xbox fail related.

 

[mysteriousmage09]
