What about bandaids?

It says band-aid on the box of that brand. The word Ham does not appear on any pork roll packaging. Why is this so hard to understand? Adhesive bandages of all brands are basically the same thing so people call them all band-aids, same with kleenex & tissues. Pork roll is a processed meat, ham is a specific cut of a pig. Calling pork roll ham is the same thing as calling bologna ham. It doesn’t make sense. You wouldn’t call a gauze pad a band-aid & you wouldn’t call a paper towel a tissue.

You sound like one of those people that pronounces “gif” with a hard g

The first word is “graphics” which is pronounced with a hard ‘g’ so... yeah, I do.

Ewww… do you also pronounce SCUBA like “Skuh-ba” since there’s a short “U” in “Underwater”?
