Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"

The “G” in “gif” is the same as the “G” in “garage”
which “G” in garage lol.
What a mess of a word now that I look at it. Two Gs pronounced differently, an “E” at the end that does not effect the second “A” (as in Rag vs. Rage). Like imagine trying to pronounce that word if you’ve never seen it, or spell it if you’d only heard it
This is why I prefer “car hole”
I prefer car hole too, but don’t tell me wife.
I mean as long as you knew the word age you’d probably pronounce it in a more stilted way, but similar to british people. Gare - age. American english is just weird because Gare becomes Gurr and age becomes odge.
Oh yeah I didn’t even consider “gare - adge” vs “gar - ahj” or however the heck you would try and spell the difference in the way it’s pronounced. Every time I think about it, I’m so grateful that I don’t have to try and learn English as an adult…

Sounds fancy, I only have a car-hole. :(
Jarrajee
I was about to say that garage doesn’t have the wrong “g” for GIF, but then I realized that some people might be ending “Garage” with an actual “j” sound
