    If Caleb balls out on national TV and the D handles CJ there will be no limit to my hype

    Who is the downvoter lol - if you don't want bears news unsubscribe. I would think anybody interested in the bears would enjoy seeing the grades, even if you don't think they mean much. We need more content on lemmy, not less!

    I hadn't brought this up before but there seems to be people just downvoting every post I make in this community

    Pan/pang- the g has a well established rule to change the pronunciation of the a? No it doesn't lol. Words are not comparable like that in english, this is another terrible argument.

    Examples: lead and lead, read and read, tear and tear, bass and bass, wind and wind. Spelled the exact same way and different pronunciations. Trying to prove how gif is pronounced based on the word gift just proves you haven't thought about this for more than 10 seconds.

    There is no grammatical argument for hard g. There is also no grammatical argument for soft g. Once again, g followed by i or e can be either in English. The only thing that should sway this is what the creator intended and straight up told everybody many times.

    the ellipses at the end of this is throwing me off lol, like there's something you're implying. so what? what on earth is your point lol - so that's the solution? every monitor and tv should have the ability to rotate 90° to accommodate for the masses' laziness/ignorance/whatever the reason is? and people should get off of their couch and walk up to their TV and manually rotate it depending on the media they are viewing?

    all of this that despite the fact that yes, the screen would now be the right orientation, but it still doesn't address the fact that portrait is just inherently the inferior choice for video (unless the video is of a single person standing upright and not moving i guess)

    in terms of how people refer to it these days, you may be correct that slightly more are using the hard g. what drives me nuts about the argument though is that the 'hard g' crowd does not have a good argument for it. the "g stands for graphics so it should be a hard g" crowd are immediately proven wrong that that's not how any acronyms work. the "gift" crowd are immediately proven wrong as i just did above.

    just be honest with yourselves. the only argument you have is "we just like it better". if you were honest then i wouldn't be able to argue against it.

    pan / pang

    hat / hate

    clam / claim

    one letter can and often does completely change pronunciation. i'd give you a good ol' fashion makin fun of, but i actually think you could've gotten there if you would've thought about for a few more seconds. you seem pretty smart. shame you clicked reply too soon.

    this one also makes me irritated in general when I see it happen and sometimes angry when I find out a special moment was only captured via vertical video. Cell phones are amazing portable devices, not the end means of consuming media.

    I have an ultra wide monitor at work and giant TVs in half the rooms in my house. 92% of the media I watch is on a landscape screen and the other 8% I'm pooping

    but g followed by i or e very regularly makes a soft g in English (and always makes a soft g in Italian, which is irrelevant I guess but I speak both). you may as well purposely mispronounce giraffe, gelatin, germ, Giorgio, giant, gentle, etc while you're at it since it they don't start with a j.

    by english rules it very often is a soft g, but could be hard as well, but the creator has clarified multiple times it is meant to be soft, so why are people fighting it?

    [Adam Jahns] Matt Eberflus said he removed Montez Sweat from a team period today after he made contact with Caleb Williams. It was the second day in a row. Eberflus told Sweat that he would be "sick" if something happened to Williams. Sweat understood. But his rush has been that good at times.

    Caleb will be the Bears' savior and I'll hear nothing else about it. It's statistically impossible for the Bears to bust on another QB
