    What is it with you and hard things?

    Definitely "guh"

    Isn't what they are there for?

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Hard G!

    And...

    BMP Files?

    I Say "Bump" Files, but when I said that a few years back to
    some of my co-workers, they gave me puzzled puppy hound
    eyes, and then said, "Oh, You mean BeeEmmPee Files!"

    so is that a hard or a soft 'G?'

    I say image most of the time. If I have to be specific, then I type

    Gif, bmp or bitmap. I don't think I've ever said Gif out loud.
