Not Wolverine posted:As a computer scientist I respect the opinion of the software makers yet I dislike the bastardization of Greek/metric standards. But hard drive manufacturers gotta market, so metric units helps the old spinning rust look bigger. I just wish the shift to solid state drives could have fixed this issue but nope we still get metric gigabytes. I'm not sure I had realized metric gigabytes carried over into SSDs, but I'm angry either way.

iirc either pronunciation of gigawatt is acceptable because both use sounds represented by G and there's no more opportunity for ambiguity with one over the other. using the hard G is just a matter of convention

16% of Britons polled in 1998 were loving with the pollster's head, horrendously drunk, from the Channel Islands, or some combination of the three.

I remember watching football and drinking at our local sports bar with a group of friends about 5 years ago and for some reason the word "GIF" came up, the group was split about how to pronounce it until I asked "Do you receive Jifts for christmas?" and that fixed that issue.

Uthor posted:I figured this was a marketing tactic. New 1 GB hard drive has 1 million KB, computer reads that as 0.93 GB Oh that was loooooong before we got into gigs. I remember my 540 MB Western Digital HDD was really about 502MB. Add in the overhead of the file system and you're under 500MB. Cactus Ghost posted:is there something more going on here besides "its a lovely crossover" To be fair, the Explorer was a body on frame RWD or 4x4 SUV for a long time, though they had IRS once they hit the 2nd or 3rd gen IIRC (1st gen had a solid rear) - that's a 3rd gen (2002-2005 MY), also the first generation to not be based on the Ranger. 4th gen was still body on frame too; they didn't go to unibody until 5th gen. Body on frame has been largely "truck/proper SUV" since cars got away from that (the last BOF car in the US was the Crown Vic/Lincoln Town Car/Grand Marquis, and they were down to only fleet sales for the last several years of the Crown Vic). "Crossovers" started out based on a car chassis. Later ones are a dedicated CUV chassis, but they're still unibody and generally FWD, and many of them still trace their roots to a car chassis. orange juche posted:People who pronounce gif as jiff are heathens, also I have literally never heard anyone but doc brown say "jigawatt" to refer to a gigawatt.

Proper pronunciation is socially constructed and forms organically. It's always hilarious when inventors insist it "should" be said a certain way when almost literally everyone does different. But even beyond that, it's not like pronunciation is consistent across the entire anglosphere.
