Really... the gib/jib argument again? The "correct" pronunciation is with a soft g because it comes from the word giblets which is pronounced with a soft g. But even though that's the "correct" pronunciation it has long been pronounced with a hard g by gamers and that's probably the more common pronunciation. Probably came about when the word started to be used as verb and as a noun representing a frag, where the hard G just sounds more right.

When you order chicken giblets in a restaurant, do you order "Chicken Jiblets"? I doubt it - if you do, they will laugh you out of there.
Wait what?! You are the first and only person I've ever heard refer to the food as being pronounced with a hard g.
Click the little speaker here:

edit: Oh I suppose they do give an alternate pronunciation there too but I've certainly never heard it for the food.

I've used CrapPal a total of twice when I had no other option - as in that's all the merchant accepted. No one should ever have to use PoopPal unless absolutely necessary - and there aren't a whole lot of reasons for that anymore seeing as even if you can't get a regular CC ANYONE can get a prepaid CC/debit card.

That was the first thing I thought of, but you can't CLOSE your old account when there's these asinine limitations on it. And obviously I don't want an old account open with my CC# in it. (and you can't delete the CC from it either if it's the only CC.)
it's just horsefuckery all around at Paypal.
I can only imagine what you are dealing with - damn near EVERYTHING I do online is via PAYPAL.

Yeah, and it comes out of fucking NOWHERE. I've never had any issues of any kind, and suddenly they hit me with this shit. They recently (long story short) double billed me for 3 bucks for a payment to GOG. and I wasn't going to go through the hassle of trying to get it overturned. It's 3 bucks. Fuck it. But now I'm definitely going to give them a crapload of shit over it.

yeh paypal is garbage now.. i was trying to deposit a payment from an ebay sale about a year ago, it said "funds not available", called customer service and discover they had some retarded new rule where you need like 100 feedbacks before you can get your money when someone pays.. otherwise you have to wait until like 3 weeks later or something
tried to argue about my 100% positive feedback on my ebay account since fucking 1998... almost 15 fucking years dude.. and it was no go.. told them i had a paypal account since it was originated.. still no love
chick was a total bitch about it too

When you order chicken giblets in a restaurant, do you order "Chicken Jiblets"? Or Gizzards "Jizzards?" I doubt it - if you do, they will laugh you out of there. But apparently, some places or use of the word say JIB, with a soft g/J. Sounds weird to me. Other uses of the word gib are pronounced GIB, which is why I always have used it that way....
Giblets are not tasty food so that's kind of academic. But apparently the right way to pronounce giblet is with the j sound.
I guarantee that I've never heard anyone say those "gib" words, ever, although maybe there are people in the tech crowd who get picky about the proper definition of a gigabyte vs. a gibibyte (which I've also never heard of before).
For one going against the list, there's "gibberish" and all its related words. |

Next they'll be telling us Gibs is pronounced with a "J".
heheheh I remember a few of the LAN parties I hosted, some younger new kids would come, or brothers and sisters of our regulars would come and say JIBS. Kids these days....
The article doesn't open for me at work so I don't know if this is mentioned, but "giblets" is in fact pronounced "jiblets," and "gibbet" is likewise "jibbet".
A kill is not a "JIB".
As in, I like the cut of your JIB.
Ya, but it's probably short for giblet, referring to all the bloody guts and organs flying around. Wikipedia says it's pronounced jibs, incidentally.
When you order chicken giblets in a restaurant, do you order "Chicken Jiblets"? Or Gizzards "Jizzards?" I doubt it - if you do, they will laugh you out of there.

http://www.memidex.com/gib
http://www.memidex.com/gib#audio
Never heard it pronounced JIB in a game either. Been saying, hearing, etc "GIB" since 1994-ish.
If I was referring to a gigabyte, I wouldn't say JIG for short, that is a fishing lure. I would say Gig. The list goes on and on.
