[edit] Mispronunciation of G

This Jame sucks.

The letter G can be pronounced two different ways in English: a hard G (IPA: /g/), as in "good" or a soft G (/dʒ/), similar to J, as in "gin". However, in the Homestar Runner universe, characters will pronounce words with a soft G that normally have the hard G.
