Pronounced “g” or “g”?

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well g is the 7th letter sooo

[–] SPOOSER 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The person who created "g" said it's pronounced "g" so that's the correct answer.

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 2 years ago

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

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some pretty loosy goosy tolerances right here

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Well, that's what the spec called for.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Tolerance ?

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

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dunno guys....

It's a "g"...

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

The = 0 is important
