Jill-y or Gill-y

[Clamp-o-Tron]

The title says it all.

Do you pronounce it Jill-y, like the name, or Gill-y, like a fish's breathing organ?

 

Personally, I pronounce it Gill-y, with a painful amount of #3 as well.

[kerbiloid]

"Gilly".

"G" like in "GIF"

So even that was debatable back in the day

Honestly, no idea. Both sound correct in a way. So I feel like I'm using both.

It's the opposite pronunciation to how someone would pronounce ".gif", I hope this settles the matter once and for all

That's the joke.

Not sure. I think of it as Gill-ee,  but never saw a pronunciation guide for it anywhere. 

[Zaffre]

You'd have to be a madman or a troll to pronounce it with a J.

Afraid I have to defend the madmen of the Earth on that one, we prefer the term "sanity-challenged"

Mün is pronounced "myoon", not "muhn". Every time somebody says "muhn," a kitten dies.

I have literally never said Gilly aloud once in my life because nobody I know cares about my nerdy KSP habit

Strange people. How do you manage to play a game for even 5 mins without starting to talk aloud to nobody in particular?

EXACTLY! I can't play anything without my wife telling me to keep the conversation with myself down to a low roar, right Dientus?

 

Yoo betcha Dientus!

I'm not talking to myself. I'm talking to the only person smart enough to listen.

Im pretty sure its "muhn" as in-game it doesn't have the 2 dots over the U, and everyone (Even the devs) say "muhn"

As for gilly its gill-y, as thats what the devs call it

i've never seen someone call it jill-y

Actually, now it could be a time for the developers to reveal the actual origins of the KSP planets and moons...

Except the obvious Duna and Mun, of course.

Who is Pol? Who is Bop? What to "lay the"? Is Jool coming after Joon?

And what is the full name of Gilly.

[Mahnarch]

Gravitationally

Influenced

Little

Litho

Yo-yo.

 

Hard 'G'.

[CollectingSP]

Gilly.

If you call it Jilly, There’s something wrong with you imo

It's spelt "Gilly", but it's pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove".

[Wizard Kerbal]

Oh I always called it Sr. Smol 

(Not really, but now it’s Sr. Smol to me)
