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 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Is this one of those gif - jiff type situations?

[–] bss03 2 points 2 days 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.
