How would you say "Gizable"? It doesn't sound right.
- christianowens 16y agoEditor of Gizable here, we launched today, and it's awesome to be on the first page of Hacker News our first day! We pronounce it Giz-ah-bull, but this is the internet, I suppose you could pronounce it however you wanted.
- noelchurchill 16y agoGood luck on your launch!
- christianowens 16y agoThanks. We're doing our best!
- joshwa 16y agoGizz (as in gizzard) or Guys?
- noelchurchill 16y agoAren't those the same G sound? Is it G as in Guy or G like Giovanni or Giselle (similar to a J sound)?
- joshwa 16y agogood point! Or it could be a long i, as in Giza? Gizable as in: Gizz Guys Geez Jizz Jyes Jeez ? EDIT: coincidentally, not 5 minutes later I came across this: http://gizmodo.com/5749451/how-the-hell-do-you-pronounce-gif-anyway http://gizmodo.com/5749451/how-the-hell-do-you-pronounce-gif...
- noelchurchill 16y agoI've always said GIF wrong. The name Gizmodo is pretty clear to me as the hybrid of gizmo and modo, planting it firmly in the "guh" G sound. But Gizable.... not so clear!
- there 16y agoi read it as "jizzable". at least now i won't forget the name...

- christianowens 16y agoAll those looking for the pronunciation: Terminal.app > "say gizable" But you can say it however you please. =P
