Pronounced “g” or “g”?

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

Well g is the 7th letter sooo

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.today 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.”

So, tolerance is the answer 🤔

[–] LoraxEleven@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

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

Some pretty loosy goosy tolerances right here

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Well, that's what the spec called for.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Tolerance ?

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

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

I dunno guys....

It's a "g"...

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

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

And then they went and had some 69 fun.

I think it’s x ² - 15x + 54 = 0

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The = 0 is important
