"You must split humanity into two groups, and then one of those two will be randomly selected and instantly all die. How do you divide the human race?"

Divide it by people who say gif or by those who say gif

Its pronounced "gif". Just like gift, or giraffe

I hate you.

Because he didn't use an apostrophe?


[?]gerryskid 669 points 4 hours ago

No. Because he left off the period.


[?]danhakimi 13 points 2 hours ago

I thought it was the quotation-mark-period.

How can such a short line can be so awful?

I thought it was the extra comma.

Or split them into those that think it's okay to kill others and those that don't?  Although I'm not sure which group you'd want to kill and which you'd want to keep alive to live with...

Pronounce it like with a Dutch G: https://youtu.be/YrI2-bZ7wpc?t=4s

At which point, it sounds like you're saying "poison" in Dutch.

Okay, so...  Is English her first language, or is Dutch her first language?  She sounds American, eh?

WOW for once it's not ME that is responsible for a mega-derail :)


The whole reason I posted this was because of what's in the SPOILER tags. The genius linguistic comedic stylings of some people on Reddit... George Carlin would be proud :)

Well you didn't explain that, so I just assumed the topic was about how to pronounce GIF.  So there's "GIF" and there's "GIF", and I simply offered an alternative Dutch-hard-G "GIF".

...

So instead we should have been talking about the text you hid inside a spoiler tag?  WTF, we're not mind-readers.
