I was looking for a NES game on GoG.

There is a right way to say that sentence. And a wrong way.

/aɪ wəz ˈlʊkɪŋ fɔː ə ɛn eː ɛs ˈɡeɪ̯m on gŏg/

tbh /gŏg/ is pretty hard to pronounce so i would probably say /ɡɒk/ like gock

This is the kind of lore im looking for

Which one do you hate more?

  • I was looking for a en ee ess game on gog.

  • I was looking for a ness game on gee oh gee.

There are at least 2 more ways to say it, along with some even more cursed variants.

Say gog like the G in gif?

Could be gog, jog, goj, or joj.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain a G at the end of a word is always pronounced as a hard G. So the latter two are out.

Jog is hilarious though, Imma start saying it that way

Zjog, zjoj, etc

I hate them both equally, I'd say "an NES game"

I was looking for a Nintendo Entertainment System game on Good Old Games.

Not anymore, technically:

GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games)
