It's pronounced GIF

In an alternate universe Shadow: Name one word that starts with "G" that's pronounced like "J". Sonic: Generations

"Huh, I didn't know that." "You're still wrong though." Jreat video :)

Unironically this taught me that laser is an acronym

I never knew "scuba" was an acronym until just now. Apparently, it is. I just looked it up. It stands for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus."

Pro-tip: pronounce it "yiff" for extra psychological damage.

The biggest joke is that they are actually trying to make the English language consistent.

This is why Sonic refuses to use a gun in Shadow’s game. He’d end up being pestered by Shadow for using “juns”.

I love how the music stops to talk about lasers.

This cutscene is perfect for memes.

"I was just in San Francisco" lmao

They’re actually both right: 1. Sonic’s logic holds true because the P in JPEG can’t be an F without its partner H. Shadow also shows that a letter’s position can change its pronunciation in many cases (excepting the fact that English has many diverse dialects), hence U for Underwater vs Scuba and E for Emission vs Laser. 2. G generally can’t sound like J without being followed by an I, Y, or E (thanks, France). Because GIF has one of these combinations when pronounced as its own word, Steve Wilhite is correct in saying that’s the most proper pronunciation. HOWEVER, English pronunciation rules are not always set in stone because this is the most inconsistent and loanword-filled language in history and therefore we still have notable exceptions, hence “Gynecology” (thanks, Greece), “Gears” (thank you, Scandinavia) and “Gift.” (thanks, other Germanic tribes)

Sonic: wait laser is an acronym? Me: wait scuba is an acronym?

I absolutely want more of Sonic arguing with Shadow

"Name one word that starts with "G" pronounced like "J". "Genocide." "Shoot, should have thougt of that. I was just in Germany."

I love how they just progressively get faster and faster the more intense their argument gets 💀

This is actually a very intelligent conversation for a sonic game.

"You just hate me because I'm right" "I just hate you in general" Perfect representation of how I argue with my siblings

Honestly this genuinely feels like a petty conversation these two would have.

I love how it started with serious talk about a dead friend and then it devolved into petty talk about GIF in 10 seconds
