IM-GURR sounds like Groot's angry baby nephew.

There was a vote a couple years ago where it was voted that it was pronounced im-jurr.

Tozial
There is a linguistic reason you're wrong but the internet is a free place and you're more than free to be wrong. <3
English language is a hell of a drug.
lovecoloured
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?
do you just prefer how you pronounce it? Do you think the actual pronunciation is just dumb? this is keeping me from sleeping omg
Euffy
First way time you see a word you pronounce it logically. Maybe phonetically, maybe to rhyme with another word you know, but always (1)
Oh cool thanks! I've never really thought about it that way before
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)
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)
Tanishh
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.
I didn't say those pronunciations were correct haha. Just explaining how they come to be.
TheFlyingSatan
If they wanted it pronounced 'Imager' they should've named it Imager
wholm
I think what I heard was when they tried getting the domain name, 'imager', it was already taken so they went with Imgur instead.
Glumerlink
they actually were originally going to and there are still remnants from its early form on reddit somewhere
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
Or, you know, incorporated a well know HTML tag that references the entire purpose of the site?
taylorisnotacat
this point ignores the fact that "img" is a shorthand abbreviation normally read as "image"
How is this not obvious to everyone?
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
someswedishgirl
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.

It was in the description when I downloaded the app.

This^. Sorry, but English gets to pick the rules because English was here first. By a little.
Eogos
Well they have it on the support page that it's pronounced imager sooo...
Corallyne
Which is literallu what everyone is saying. We know. But we dont give a shit cause it's not spelled imager.
nacko
English breaks its own "rules" all the time.
brickonator
Ah yes, the singular and consistent rules of English.
NameNotFoundException
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.
