    If a "G" is followed by an "I" or an "E", it's pronounced "ji"

    As in giraffe or generator or genocide. Every thing else, and it's "ga" as in gap or go or gone.

    simple. See ya

    tell me where the 'E' or 'I' are in GSXR ????

    What about "git" then? Surely you don't expect that lovely British term to be pronounced all French like as in "jit"

    Or get, you don't say "next time I'm going to jet you" do ya??

    Last time I saw my "jixxer" it simply called cunt.

    ahhh... forgot that.. i just thought it was one of those 'closed name' polls, and pursued it no further..

    and now:

    Battle Toad, Edbear, Lazy7, MattRSK, Mental-Trousers, r4q2, Two Smoker.. you guys obviously didn't learn much in school, when it comes to grammer..

    SpankMe makes the exception, as he keeps this site running really well, and I'd be bored out of my mind if this site wasn't here..

    I thought we had resolved it when you guys were up here... and yet that bloody Poos still can't let it rest!

    Since Mr Poos had already asked the ultimate authority, and then the said ultimate authority was rung on Saturday night by the minions for his opinion to settle the matter finally, you'd think the ultimate authority's answer would now be law.
