The only way we could accept 'Jif' as correct is if we contend that people have the right to create their own pronunciation for acronyms. I find that a rather contentious contention. |

I think we should all have a lovely fight about whether or not Colour should have a U. |

The U in Scuba is pronounced with an OO sound, despite Underwater very much not. Acronyms live by no man's law. |

I like American English for the most part, a lot of it makes sense (imo more sense than British English in a lot of cases) One thing I cannot understand though. Where the flying fig did Aluminum come from? Everything else in the USA is 'Ium', so where did the I go to in Aluminium? |

The main thing that annoys me is the sss (zzz) sound. The wee one, not the big one (ESS). snake = an example. Organise with that s sounds better to me than organize with a z sound. ![]() |

If there is any argument at any time about what kind of English is 'correct', the only possible answer is Englands English. Any other claim is completely illogical and intellectually bankrupt. |

In point of fact, we use English English in Australia. Colour has a U! Herb is pronounced like 'her' with a b at the end, etc. |

My issue is with the idea of something being correct or not. Fair play to adhering to a pre-set list of rules for the finer side of language), but the best thing about language is it's capacity for change just through use. It's like a cultural artefact that you hand down to those around you after you change what you do not like. That should never be either a bad thing, or a cause for competition. |

By the way, I know you are only trying to rile me - but I'll tell you right now, that when it comes to language I won't be fucked with. Saying 'Especially Aussie English' when Australian English is far closer to English English than American English is, is not only patently false, it's completely fucking unreasonable. Cut that shit out. |

I don't follow. Most people that I discuss language with seem to see it as a predefined and rigid item. One that you can get either right, or wrong. I take this as the general view of it (due to the majority of people I know seeing it like this), but one that I do not agree with, due to it taking away from the personal connection that the individual has with the communication tool.. It is in this universe that I feel I need to bring this up earlier, rather than later down the line when confusion has already been bred. |

Haha... Dude, I'm well aware of Aussie use of British English - one of my closest mates is a Queenslander. I work in linguistics - I see these language debates all the time... British V American, and what is right and so on. At the end of the day they are all languages and they are all right. 'Tis just a bit of fun. |

Always said "Gee-eye-eff" myself. Just like I say "Pee-En-Gee" and "Jay-Pee-Gee" and such. I think the only types of files I pronounced instead of spell out are jar (and their many variants) files. |
