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?

I speak spanish and one of the first cultural shocks I had was when I as a kid saw an episode of some sitcom (can't remember) and there where talks of a "spelling bee" a contest to see who could spell correctly, that was so alien to at the time because in spanish there are just a few words that are tricky, because they have some silent H or a P at the beginning but then I started to learn english and it all made sense.
"English: if you can spell our words we'll literally give you a fucking trophy and a scholarship"

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.

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).

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.
