Crazed20507y@filthyranter the "wee" part. Here in burgerland we say V with a hard bottom-lip to top-teeth sound. Wee comes with a W!
But really I like thinking of SVG as savage, thats hilarious -
@Crazed I'm not familiar burgerland. I don't think it was in the list of countries I studied when I went to school. Times are changing fast

@kenogo "Check this gif of a gigantic gyroscoping ginger giraffe talking gibberish. Isn't she the giddiest giggling giga gifted girl to gimbal like that, or is it a gimmick?"
Now is it Github or Jithub? -
620hun83707y@kenogo Git is an English word, like grumpy git (grumpy and oldish man). GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, so G should be pronounced accordingly.

@kenogo @620hun
The problem is that English is such a lovely rebellious organically grown muddy retarded language without any properly defined rules.
though through rough cough ought
borough plough — tho throo ruff coff awwt borrow plow. -
Shodan4987yCall it a grinfo file and the pronunciation ambiguity is gone 😁
Savage files though, if that catches on I might start calling SSH sushi 🤣 -
620hun83707y@bittersweet tell me about it. One easy thing about Hungarian is that pretty much everything is pronounced as written (except when too many vowels stack up, in that case you kind of squash them together, it's very natural). Same with Spanish.

@620hun Someone tried to standardize a "perfect" global language with regular rules — Esperanto.
As with all standardization efforts, now we have n+1 solutions. -
RTRMS37897yNot bad, would not have thought of referring to it that way, ateast he never said jiff
-
Not as embarrassing as saying PNG aloud as “pornog.” There’s not even an R in it yet that’s how I read it in my head.
-
@620hun This. You don't create GIRAFFE-ICS, do you? No! They're giraffe GRAPHICS! G like GREAT! Not "jreat"!
-
So only me that thought he meant the contents of the file. Because that can get savage.
-
beerye316y@filthyranter I'd be more inclined to call it 'svee-gee', though generally I just go with ess-vee-gee. I think it's just natural for the uninitiated to go with what flows.
Manager: "Man, I'm not happy with how this svee-gee came out, it should be cleaned up."
Programmer: "Here, use this squeegee."
