Practice and time creates skill, not talent. Talent is when you are naturally good at something right from the start. It's more like a head start for someone who is talented vs not.

Where their thumb is, is a camera. So it's supposed to be like a camcorder when flipped out like that. It was a really bad camera though.

If it was clear, they wouldn't need a citation for it still. Anywhere else you look, it's private information only.

Yeah, I'm in Costa Mesa and the wind was pretty nasty there for a bit. Not the first time either since living here.

Gif isn't a loanword from German, it was created in effect by the creator. A new word, in which they chose to use a soft g, which falls in line with English language rules. If people want to call it an exception, then I say, yet again, say it as you wish. If you want to get upset at someone using a soft g, then you have problems.

Gift being the exception, and not the only one, is due to it coming from German. Yes, English originated from German as well, but still has this rule in place. And i'm not trying to tell people who use a hard g that they are wrong for doing so. Just that they're wrong trying to force others to do so. As I said, say it as you wish. But if you want to try and push others to do so, and argue that you're the correct one, you're going to always be arguing.

Except the rule for English is that g before i is a soft g. The exceptions, such as gift, don't invalidate the rule. Combine that with the creator themselves saying it uses a soft g, and there is an actual argument for it. Again, say it as you will, but there is an argument for a soft g.

So do you pronounce NASA and Scuba differently than the norm? Because the norm doesn't fit that rule. Scuba in particular would sound very odd compared to the norm if you followed your "rule." The same for many other acronyms. They're said as words, and much like the link I provided Juror, there are indeed rules in English for how to pronounce something such as that. And also as I told them, say it how you wish, doesn't mean there isn't a reason for using a soft G.

There are rules, and of course exceptions, to how g is pronounced.

These rules do support soft g, and given the creator is from the US and spoke English, it does hold up.

But like I said, say it how you want. I actually had to go dig that up since I saw it a long time ago. That and my original comment doesn't exactly say what I meant, so apologies for that.

Except linguists have even said the origin of the word is where we get how the g is sounded. Say it as you wish, but there's a linguistic reason for it to be said with a soft g sound.

Try? I've made these. Well, more specifically, the bacon wrapped kind.

I just went and looked, and they just flat cancelled for all Westwood Students back to 2002. I went in 2000-2001. Yay. Oh well.

Which school was it? I went to Westwood, and only found out about the case for them too late.

They have extra cones in their eyes and can see more color variations than normal. Only happens in women iirc. Can tell without it though.

This particular one is actually a Mana game. Seiken Densetsu. Secret of Mana is Seiken Densetsu 2. The FF Legend games are SaGa.

Rule XV, clause 1, requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules of the House. The image shows they had to suspend rules, so needed 2/3.

Gotta remember those aren't 1.44MB floppies. Missing the extra hole opposite the write protect to indicate high density. So 720KB disks.

Go look up hard and soft G usage and origin. The origins of those words? Germanic, Scandinavian, and such. So, please try again.

It's technically correct. G followed by E, I or Y, has a J sound. The exception to this are words of non English origin, such as germanic.

Amazon is actually trying to compete with UPS/FedEx.

What i'm talking about is when you order from other sites, but they literally go through Amazon themselves for all shipping.

The only issue, is that oftentimes the stuff gets shipped through Amazon anyways.
