[quote name="EclipseDragon" date="2019-06-10 11:34:17" ] I can get onboard with calling them "jailers", Gaolers is just the older version of that, which makes sense cause ancient breeds. Sort of like wyrm pronounced as "worm" which my brain equates not with dragons but... worms. [quote name="CometStorm" date="2019-06-10 10:51:47" ] team gif. GRAPHIC interchange format. not jraphic [/quote] This however, I will die on this hill. It's gif, as in gift without the T. It's an acronym, the G stands for "Graphics" it doesn't change the pronunciation, I don't care what the guy who made it said, he was trolling. [emoji=gaoler deadpan size=2] [/quote] I just betrayed everything I stand for and read gif as jif cause I've been looking at this thread for too long [emoji=skull size=1]

@Phenri That's fascinating and just hurt my brain because, yeah, I just automatically went, oh, it's the colors— [emoji=ridgeback scared size=1] oh [i]no[/i] they're the [i]wrong[/i] colors? I can absolutely see gaoler modern-phonetic vs actual pronunciation being something similar. Myself, I knew gaol as archaic jail well before FR, so I do try to mentally correct to jailer each time, but it's definitely not an immediate association because I just didn't encounter it enough in daily life. Maybe FR will actually help with that. [emoji=ridgeback laughing size=1]

It's absolutely "jailer" and "gif". I will fight to the death on this hill.
