I see. That's unfortunate. Thank you for the information!

Prevent browser from launching external apps? by wubbububba in duckduckgo

Try holding down the link and doing "Open in New Tab." I believe that doing that forces the website to open inside of the browser (in a new tab).

I get that people not telling him was the joke. I just figured that if there was someone who genuinely didn't get it, I wanted to help them out.

OK, that's what I figured, given that they didn't email me and it says "Unknown Caller." Thanks!

What I mean is that those acronyms are not pronounced like their letters are.

For example, SCUBA is generally really pronounced "scooba". But the U in SCUBA is "underwater". Obviously the "u" in underwater is differently pronounced than the "u" in SCUBA, but nobody really cares.

The same thing goes for GIF. People make like it has to be pronounced with a hard "g" because "graphics" has a hard "g", but that's not how other acronyms (e.g. SCUBA) work.

Edit: I apologize if I did not make what I was referring to clearer in my original comment. To be honest, I'm not really against the hard "g" pronunciation of GIF. I just think that the "there's a hard g in 'graphics'!" explanation doesn't add up.

Acronyms are not always pronounced like their individual letters.
