canon

It's pronounced sanon btw
- From the original çanon of course
  
  It’s pronounced source.
- You mean the Sanon the Dork Lard?
Jandalf, yes I was once called that. Jandalf the Jray.
- Now I am Jandalf the Hwhite.
  
  After smearing myself with chool hwip
My giant giraffe agrees.

If you're still unconvinced, say "G"

The letter starts with the J sound.

Checkmate atheists.
- I may sound haughty and knowledgable when I say JiF then, but between just you and me, I didn't know a damn thing about this and just decided to say it this way in my brain for reasons that remain unclear.
  
  Me too. I just always said it with a soft G because my brain told me that's how it was pronounced.
  
  Strange that I never got a notification for this. Hm.
  
  I've always pronounced it that way for whatever reason, and when I learned that was the correct way I was very high and mighty, lol
- Yes but actually no
- Was it a gift?
  
  Yeah, from a gyrating genie named George.
- Oh yeah? Well lick my gargantuan gorilla gonads.
  
  (I'm actually team jif but can't help myself)
- Good god Gordon go gag a gator
- technically starts with the D sound
  
  Now you're just getting crazy
One thing I learned recently is that if GIF shall be pronounced "GIF" like the G in Graphical, JPEG shall be pronounced "JFEG" like the P in Photography

Just droppin that in
- Do I look like I know what a JFEG is?
  
  I just want a picture of a gosh dang JFEGdog
- J'feg
- If it was JPhEG sure.
- Fuck this, double standards ftw
- Is it pronounced jilf then as well?
- My name is jgef
Would be the worst retroactive devaluation of a body of literary work since JK Rowling showed the world how she really is.
- Orson Scott Card's gotta rank up there, too.
  
  True
- I really don't think JK Rowling revealed who she really was. I think she demonstrated what too much money does to someone.
  
  Nah, you become overconfident, callous and indifferent to the suffering of others from amassing extreme wealth.
  
  Bigotry and pretending to be the victim of those you victimize is income-agnostic.
You can tell that’s fine art because it says it is.
- Picasso did the same thing.
  
  Jicasso?
Anyone who uses the argument that Graphical is pronounced with a hard G sound needs to think about how they pronounce other acronyms, like SCUBA, NASA, LASER, SONAR, POG, SIM... the list goes on.
- I do say N(ay)SA to annoy people.
- It's flattering that you think anybody knows what all of those acronyms actually stand for. I'm semi-certain of NASA, the rest could just be made up for all I know (as a non-native English speaker).
  
  Kinda hard to forget SCUBA. Self contained underwater breathing apparatus
Yandalf
- The great Anglo-Saxon wizard, Ġandalf
And Elrond is Hispanic elf
comes back

Bilbo is gay!

dies

comes back

Nazgul are just men in dresses!

not canceled cause that's true
- Sauron actually do shit but he's so powerful the shit disintegrated when it comes out.
"Sauron's eye was supposed to be a gigantic vagina"
- Sauron's whispering eye.
- Sauron's vag
  
  What if he was evil because he wasn't getting any and his best attempt at making a medieval fleshlight kinda backfired.
Without the R???
- i_understood_that_reference.jif
All letters before A are silent.
- Dango Unchained
  
  Ah yes, my favorite movie
- Aragorn: You have my sword.
  
  Legolas: And you have my bow.
  
  Gimli: And my HAX.
  
  I love Lejolas and Jimli's gokes.
  
  So his name was always Jim
Guess we need to remake the trilogy.
- Hollywood's probably working on that anyway.
  
  They wouldn't dare...
- It will have 1 hour 30 minutes of Sam Merry and Pippin argue about potaeto and potahtoe. And Sauron will spend his time mentioning all the genders and races and gods can't kill him while he got stabbed in his face.
- Maybe this time they can put in some GOD DAMN TOM BOMBADIL

  Tolkien fanatics: "Link?"
  
  Also...link?
  
  I mean... it might be $200 that I'll never justify spending. It might be entirely pointless and tarnishing professor Tolkien's legacy. But it's still going on my wishlist, yeh
  
  ps did I mention it's illustrated by ALAN LEE
Ohh i see it's a geeraffe, a long necked animal.

And power ranger called down a guyan robot to fight guyan monster enemy.
Gets back up, "also, his name is Jolam." Lies back down.
He should also come out with some delicious spreads for toast, he could call them Jamdalf.
The genius Tolkien, ever generous, gestured for a round of gin martinis from his giant gentle giraffe. Over gentle murmurs from the crowd, I caught the gist of his speech: genuinely it’s pronounced Jandalf.
- Jandalf the Drey.
Yandalf the Yrey
Do you pronounce jpeg as "jayfeg"?
- No, "jaypej."
pronounces a proper noun differently than its creator then insisting he's the one who's wrong

Smh. I'd like to tell French people the way they pronounce their words is wrong too, wish me luck.
Fuck him.
- I can't, he's dead.
  
  Of course you can

Op doesn't know Frodo's real name is Froda. Tolkien changed it for modern ears.
- Yep. And Samwise was Banazîr.
  
  EDIT: Just did some more checking and, while Bilbo's name is actually Bilba, Frodo's name isn't Froda. It's Maura.
  
  My whole life is a lie.
