He told me in the entirety of TNG and the movies nobody said his name like that. If I wasn't totally brain fried I could've remembered this.

This is how I fell with .gif (Jif)

Ya, never liked her because how much they made her an ass at every corner.

Not only was she a bad person... she was a bad doctor too. "Quarantine? Triage? Limiting unnecessary loss of human life? What are those?"
HypnoChanger
I swear her philosophy with disease seemed to be "better to let everyone die for just the chance to cure one person..."
drdildamesh
They should have a character named "Gif"
wisearse
too right! My name is dylan, I hate it when my mum calls me dickhead!

Its leviosa not leviosa.

Same logic as to why I pronounce it gif. One is correct, the other is not.

The UK's flag is called the Union Flag. Everyone calls it the Union Jack. What is the flag called? Which is correct?

BC2k2
It's pronounced gif not gif, you heathen!
IvanGordy
This reminds me of when sub teachers would call me by my middle name. And I refused to acknowledge them, like the edgelord I was.
1874CheeseBeerFootball
It's pronounced data, not data.
zoidburgerandfries
Nope, the other way.. data
RICHARDJOKES
No no no, its data
zoidburgerandfries
Hmmm.. I can never get that right... data... no, data.. fuck.

When you call yourself by a common noun with multiple pronunciations, you really leave yourself open to this.
Bobeez
With a name like Regina I’m sure you’ve had your share of people mispronouncing your name in awkward ways!

I hated her
Assholethecat
She was hot when she was on the original series tho.
omngentryo
I found her to be opinionated but not completely unpleasant. Like Dr. McCoy only without the passion.
marsilies
The BD extras state they modeled her after McCoy. I also liked her fine, but I first watched TNG starting S3, so knew she wasn't permanent.
omngentryo
Season 3? I thought she was in season 2. Or am I wrong?
thecontractor
I work with African, Indian, Aussie, Arab and Korean people all day. The name pronunciations in all directions can be hilarious.
orbitn
you know how some asian names can sound funny to americans? I wonder if it works the other way for any other language. Eng names are >
orbitn
generally multisyllable so it would be harder to do, but its gotta happen at least once
thecontractor
Yes, it does work both ways. Apparently one of my nicknames means something funny in Korean and my name is a girlish name in local Arabic.
SharkoutofWata
They sound funny to us English speakers too. Apple, North West, adcde, whatever the fuck Musk naked a kid.

One of the reasons he was allowed to be considered a “sentient” being at the trail in “Measure of a Man”.

My husband and I play this game where we add “...., Bitch!” To the end of any statement spoken to her. Makes her much more bearable lol
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
I use the same game to make talking to my ex-wife more bearable
AghorSaintSoundsCoolToMe
You used 'her' for your husband, you must be living the high society gay life in Delhi

I mean Neelix was terrible then you made him a vulcan and neelix. Ultra insufferable.
IUpvoteFuturama
I'm really not sure what you are referring to, much like the 8th season of GoT it simply doesn't exist.
Tesseract09
And there's only one Matrix movie?
IUpvoteFuturama
Unpopular opinion here but I genuinely liked all three movies.
VesselOfHate
The android is right, it is pronounced like the peanut butter.
shcorina422
Not sure if you're sarcastic, but I fought that battle a long time and gave in. Now I say it with the hard g but always think it with soft g
VesselOfHate
I accept the baton, I will carry on the fight.
shuryou
According to the guy who created it, that's how it's pronounced. Anyone who disagrees is wrong
MarsIsAfire
exactly. say it how you like, but don't demand you are "right" with made up rational as to why your "pronunciation rules" are more correct.
Mohaynow
Adam's?
VesselOfHate
It's a deep pull. So Data (pronounced DAY-ta) says there is a prescriptivist pronunciation. That is, his creator _defined_ a _correct_ pro-
VesselOfHate
nunciation. much like the guy who created the graphics interchange format _defines_ the word "gif" to be pronounced with the soft G, saying
VesselOfHate
"choosy developers choose gif". I'm pushing prescriptivism here.
Mohaynow
Words ain't me strong point, but I'm picking up what you're putting down.
shoulkion
This is why I have people pronounce their own name for me when i introduce myself at work

Same. I forget them almost immediately, but the thought is there.
Andtheworldwentwhite
I try so hard to remember I think about remembering and then don't remember...it's a problem.
bogusid
And then I forget it
PhailRaptor
I don't know if my supervisor's name os pronounced Joe-vahn or Yo-von because I've never heard him say it...
MarsIsAfire
Same as Milla Jovovich!
namtrohs
Nothing wrong with respectfully asking.
ALittleKinkInYourThink
Same. It allows my anxiety to run the sound of them saying it in circles in my brain till it's inbedded.
Kennisibueno
I like you. My last name is 16 letters long. You would think people would ask but no...no one does.
AghorSaintSoundsCoolToMe
That's a lot of letters to fill into those online forms
Liquid404
My last name is 4 letters long and people always guess wrong.
DevonGronka
My last name is pronounced exactly like it is spelled. People usually seem confused by this.
namtrohs
I count myself lucky I was born in a very melting pot area so I learned the generalizations of pronouncing other culture's names 1/2
namtrohs
correctly. It's horrifying listening to some of the mis-pronunciations and casual-racist mockings of some people's names.
DevonGronka
Did you see the fox news host say AOC was being all uppity by pronouncing her name with a latin accent? It was pretty horrible. Just some1/2
DevonGronka
old white dude telling people she is wrong about the way she pronounces her own name b/c he wants it to sound more 'murican.
