It was meant as a reference to the peanut butter brand. A lot of acronym pronunciations are "wrong" but don't get the scrutiny gif does.

Language is a shared understanding so I don't mind either pronunciation, I can understand both. But acronyms being inconsistent is normal.

There's lots of examples that the "hard g is definitively correct" crowd ignore. SCUBA, BASE jumping, PIN number, etc. It's older than gif.

Every day I get lunch at cafeteria at work. For months the exchange was "Do you need your receipt?" / "No." / "Alright, enjoy." / "Thanks."

To their dubious credit, they gave up on enforcing an overwhelming 12-to-1 vote to not train Anakin. ?

I'm sure there's empathetic extraverts but I keep running into the ones who dichotomize "continual social butterfly" and "sad cave hermit".

My first thought was "need more info". Perhaps the time traveling elephant can go faster than light. An FTLephant, if you will.

I just say "Shaddap!" and pick her up and hold her and it's usually what she wants.
