Pronounced “g” or “g”?

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well g is the 7th letter sooo

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.today 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The person who created "g" said it's pronounced "g" so that's the correct answer.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At the very least it's not incorrect.

And rightfully so!

I heard “g” was created at around the same time in two different parts of the world. One of them claims it to be pronounced “g” and the other claims it to be pronounced “g.”

I thought it was a broken pretzel.

So, tolerance is the answer 🤔

[–] LoraxEleven@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

You damn right. Well, almost... Tolerance is the lesson.

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Some pretty loosy goosy tolerances right here

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Well, that's what the spec called for.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Tolerance ?

"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct"

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I dunno guys....

It's a "g"...

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 7 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's a ∂ lying on its front.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 7 points 11 months ago

And then they went and had some 69 fun.

I think it’s x ² - 15x + 54 = 0

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

The = 0 is important
