    Seeing as how it was a name of a thing created by a specific group of people, I call bullshit. If I invent a new thing and give it a name, that doesn’t give a bunch of jackasses the right to steamroll over that because they don’t like it.

      lol. yes it does wtf are you on about. you can create something named VVYNN and say it’s pronounced “fun”, but it’s up to people whether they do or not. in my experience they do when it makes sense. iphone makes sense. gif makes sense for some people, doesn’t for others. you can’t force it.
