I occasionally pay $13 for locally made nut butters with crystallized ginger pieces mixed in

What kind of spell-caster are you?

[piripishi]

that sounds... delicious

[problematic]

I used to say jif, like a dummy.

It's gif (gift). Sorry not sorry.

I raise you “giraffe”

[prlsb4swiine]

giraffe is one of the worst offenders in the English language imo

right behind 'guaifenesin' tbh.
it just makes me *shakes fist*

[namae_nai]

From French giraffe (now girafe), from Arabic زَرَافَة‎ (zarāfa, “giraffe”); ultimately from Persian زُرنَاپَا‎ (zurnāpā), a compound of زُرنَا‎ (zurnā, “flute”) and پَا‎ (pā, “leg”).

aka it came from French where the g+i rules are a bit different.

edit: actually, it seems like English follows the French rules for the most part! lol @ me.

I though it was pronounced meahm

[williammiller]

Me too

I would have to physically unlearn the muscle memory in my tongue to pronounce it with a hard G. 'Jif' just rolls better.

All my friends roast me for it but idjaf.

[aristobrit]

It is "Jif." People pronouncing it the other way are just wrong.

This post coming after the flat earth post is making me laugh. It's Jif, no matter who wants to mispronounce it.

[tigirah]

really enjoying the vibe of your comment + icon, and you're absolutely right!

[aristobrit]

Thanks. It's reminding me of the people who insist on referring to Sandra Bullock as "Sondra." Her name is not Sondra, it's plain old Sandra and her nickname is Sandy, not Sonndy. I don't know why people do this, or mispronounce Jif.

[musicnkisses]

No to peanut butter forever after GMM today.

[cuyler_morgan]

I'm afraid to ask you to elaborate....
