Then can we force SciFi audiobook narrators to use it?

Ray Porter, I love you to fucking death, but you kill me sometimes....

I loved The Expanse, and Jefferson Mays is amazing

But "jimbals" drove me crazy

For Ray Porter, his inability to pronounce "Archimedes" was bad enough they made him go back and re-record a book.

Oh god yes the jimbles on Mays, I had forgotten about that, every time he would say that my brain would go "the what?" It would suck me right out of immersion every damn time.

Having not read this (yet! It's planned) what is the word and how is supposed to be pronounced?

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 8 months ago

Hard-g; "gimbals" see "gimbal lock"

Is this one of those gif - jiff type situations?

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 8 months ago

I don't know what the etymology of "gimbal" is...

Looks like the precursor words all use soft-g, and wiktionary even says soft-g is an allowed pronunciation.

So, yes, I think.
