Having not read this (yet! It's planned) what is the word and how is supposed to be pronounced?
Hard-g; "gimbals" see "gimbal lock"

Does that mean the game on PS4 is Bloodbin in Australia?
No because that would be logically consistent

No I will pronounce Latin with guterization so bad it'd make a Catholic priest have an aneurysm. Worst part is it actually sounds close to classical Latin or so I've been told.

But isn't the whole point of that to avoid the "oh sweetie..."?

Is this one of those gif - jiff type situations?

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.

Candell-abra is how I was pronouncing it. Yes, I know it's the wrong way
It's pretty close, sounds like you're just pausing at the wrong spot.

I'm old and I HATE dealing with things on a phone call.
Old is a relative term, and Lemmy is an echo chamber of tech-literate people.

Typing requires thumbs; something only primates have.
...another thing that (some) primates have is an island where rich people go to molest children.
Some of these primates are greedy and/or terrible primates, and they don't want you to look up any connection between a primate named Trump and a primate named Epstein (spoiler alert, those primates rape underaged primates and brag about it to each other).

I learned how to pronounce Nguyen from that show.

Mate.. This post is about a funny meme about word pronunciation. There is no need to bring us politics here (or any other nation politics for that matter). There are other places you can go to to talk about it.

More to avoid the "oh sweetie" from people you know and care about.
Though I wonder how much you could trust the pronunciation if they outsourced the call center to an English-speaking third-world country like Alabama.

Looks like we pronounce it like the Swede's do, and German is halfway to English pronunciation. I would probably blame the Germanic parts of English along with significant Swedish settlement in US cheese producing regions.

You call French inconsistent, I call you ignorant of its rules. They are many, they are complex, they don't make sense (but, surprisingly, languages don't ever make sense, they just are), but are for the most part consistent. Especially compared to English.
In French, "eau" is pronounced like "o". It's dumb. But it's always true. Meanwhile, the "i" in "alive" and "live" are pronounced differently for no good reason.
The "i" in alive and live are pronounced differently, but the "i" in alive and live are pronounced the same.
