    A permie I worked with at my previous clientco started getting on my wick for pronouncing "project" as "proeject" with a long "o". Unfortunately as he was a PM, every other word he said was "proeject"
    Oi!

    Floppy Disk
    Hard Disk

    Optical media is "Disc" the clue is in the names!

    Them's the rules!

        OK, let me help: GIF

        The G is pronounced like it is in "gnaw" and "gnarly"
        The I is pronounced like it is in "piece" and "conceive"
        And the F is pronounced like it is in "halfpenny"

        ...I was going to say that the F is pronounced as it is in "way", to which you would point out "there's no f-in way that's right"
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Yes I remember that. I had to delete the evidence in a hurry, and you ended up with a strongly worded letter from HR. You didn't even buy me a pint you tight-fisted

                I would have thought Felching would be a no-no.

                He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                      Actually I'm from London
                      It just always made sense to put the cream first then the jam

                      You wouldn't put jam and then butter on toast would you?
