  • I respect both pronunciations of gif, but saying that the g should be the same as graphical because that’s what it stands for is and always has been laughable. Thats not how acronyms work at all, all you have to do is think of a few.

    When you put in your PIN at the register, is it your “pin” or your “pine”? Because the I stands for identification. Same with SIM, it’s not a “sime” card.

    If you go SCUBA diving, is it pronounced “scuh-ba” or “scooba”? Because the U is for underwater.

    How about CAPTCHA? Should it be “cahpt-k-ha” or “captcha”? Or POTUS is “pot-yoos”?


  • Less nonsense names. Like Sir Eldenefijerburi went to the little town of Grimfirnutsbadde to buy some sunretretten for dinner. That’s unfortunately pretty common in fantasy, and I think it needs to be taken down like 3 notches lol.

    More adventure in the adventure. I feel like a lot of characters “fast travel”, which in some contexts is fine. But sometimes it’s used to make them jump from town to town to move the story along without actually going through the journey
