It's Gib, soft G, around here

 

[Seadog]

Precisely

 

[fizzy]

I always say jib as well.
And sOLder
And aircraft not airplane

 

[Seadog]

Another interesting word- Plenum.

I worked with a mechanical engineer, also a pilot, who insisted it was pronounced plen-um and not pleenum.

I never realised it was anything but plen - um!

My 2nd car had 2 of them - Rover SD1 Vitesse

 

[Brad93]

Plen-um for me

 

[Seadog]

I fear for the coming generations

Plee-num is correct. But it's language which is not a fixed thing so who knows what tomorrow's pronunciation will be

Why do you say that when the general consensus on here is plen um?

 

[Morris]

I didn't say that's how I pronounced it
I was also unaware that general consensus on a forum made anything correct.

Spotted this in that 2nd link, never saw it before - an upside down/reversed letter 'e'
/ˈpliːnəm/

Edit: and how far off topic have we drifted

 

[Munkul]

Potay-toe potaa-toe

That’s not language, it’s English, which is a b**s**rd language which should be updated before the whole world ends up confused about it......

International phonetic alphabet, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet if you are interested.

Specifically for the upside down/reversed 'e', they say it originated in the days of manual typesetting to save them having to make up a special character for the sound - just use one you already have in a non-standard orientation.
