Why y'all playing checkers on a chess set?

Because checkers is a boring game where if you king yourself first and have your defenses right, all you gotta do is move back and forth to win the game. And all pieces move the same until then.

Basically, it's a boring ass game.

Exactly. We already have a word that's too similar in pronunciation.

I love this argument. It allows me to counter with:

If the creator of, say, Linux said it was pronounced "Dog smegma", would we be bound by that?

Nope.

As stupid as this whole argument is, Linux couldn't possibly be pronounced "dog smegma", so this seems like a pointless thing to say.

The main point is that you can't argue with how the creator says it should be pronounced. There's nothing stopping him from choosing to pronounce it as dog smegma. The fact that it doesn't follow the rules of English is irrelevant. The idea of us being bound by the chosen pronunciation of it's creator is as asinine as pronouncing Linux as dog smegma.

It's funny because you have no basis for asinine statements like this.

Unless you're really special and you believe something as dumb as this:

In which case you really shouldn't be talking about someone else understanding of the English language. You know, that super simple, straight forward language /s

Tell me

Why is it pronounced "Language"

And not "Lange-Gwag"

Because English is a fucking shitshow most of the time. It's a goddamn amalgamation of every other language that proceeded it.The rules change on a whim. It's not governed by reason.
