I've always wondered why some people prefer to pronounce things "incorrectly"on purpose. Im not saying that's inferior at all, but how come?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

do you just prefer how you pronounce it? Do you think the actual pronunciation is just dumb? this is keeping me from sleeping omg

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

First way time you see a word you pronounce it logically. Maybe phonetically, maybe to rhyme with another word you know, but always (1)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Oh cool thanks! I've never really thought about it that way before

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

logically. When you hear a new way of saying it you tend to think "but WHY do you pronounce it that way?" and way up the logic of both (2)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

sides. Because you've used the first way for longer, and just because humans are stubborn, your first way tends to appear more logical. (3)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

See, that doesn't really work though. 80% of the shit I pronounce logically turns out to be dead wrong. Gut feeling pronunciations are bad.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I didn't say those pronunciations were correct haha. Just explaining how they come to be.

If they wanted it pronounced 'Imager' they should've named it Imager

10 years ago | Likes 748 Dislikes 33

I think what I heard was when they tried getting the domain name, 'imager', it was already taken so they went with Imgur instead.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

they actually were originally going to and there are still remnants from its early form on reddit somewhere

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or, you know, incorporated a well know HTML tag that references the entire purpose of the site?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

this point ignores the fact that "img" is a shorthand abbreviation normally read as "image"

10 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 5

How is this not obvious to everyone?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 5

I think what /u/someswedishgirl means is that many people aren't familiar with "img" as an abbreviation, thus don't all make the connection

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because there's no dot. You don't call coca cola "care of ca care of la" or "Colorado ca Colorado la" just because co is an abbreviation.

Well they have it on the support page that it's pronounced imager sooo...

Which is literallu what everyone is saying. We know. But we dont give a shit cause it's not spelled imager.

English breaks its own "rules" all the time.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

Ah yes, the singular and consistent rules of English.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'd wager money on the fact that you pronounce W as "double u" rather than "double v" or queue as simply the letter q.
