gigabyte, I hate it when people say jigabyte, that's not even a measurement.

Bizarre. Dictionary.com says it's Jigabyte (pronounced that way anyway)

I had some girls in my class that used to call the Internet the "Innernet".

Man that was annoying.

He had a problem with his poop3 server not accepting his logan information when using a mo-DEM to connect through the peepee server.

I'm easily amused though

Mispronouncing computer terms is funny, but using words that don't exist is even funnier!

mispronunciation

GAAAHH!!!!!

Did anyone else notice there's a typo in that pic?

Yeah, it should be regime, not a bad mispelling of regimen.

I like to pronounce .gif as "jif" and URL as "earl."

I hate when people point at the case and call it the CPU, though I'm sure that's already been mentioned here, maybe even by me. Not gonna bother looking, though.

I replaced an old man's old CRT with an LCD flat panel, and then he asked how to get his files off his old computer (pointing at the CRT).

I once posted on another forum that I pooped in a boot disk, rather than popped in a boot disk.

It's pronounced like "jif". Period. The end. That's final. End of story.


I pronounce it with a G myself but people love to debate it.

i have a teacher that will correct you every time you say linux like you say "linen" but with an x, and he says it's linux like "linus" with an x (like Linus Torvalds) i know he's right but it just sounds weird to me...
