People who pronounce it "nuh-viddyuh" are the worst. It's like calling MSI "messy".

 

Also, I've always just called them Nvidia. Capitalising the whole word makes things look cluttered to me. But yeah it hasn't been nVidia since like the 200 series or something xD

On the other hand, I've heard people call Asus "A.S.U.S" and it is wayyy worse than nuh-vidia

"So today I'm going to be unboxing this new motherboard from G.I.G.A.B.Y.T.E."

 

"Yeah I just bought a new nuh-zuxt case from N.E.W.E.G.G."

 

"Oh right, I got an F.R.A.C.T.A.L. case from nuh-cix"

How the hell did they come up with the name in the first place? Jensen huang must've been drunk when he was mentioning his marketing strategy.

 

The Latin word for envy is "Invidia", which explains their name as well as their green-eye logo (which also ties in nicely with their business, working with visual technology)

my pet peeve is when someone uses OCD wrong

Actually, I am diagnosed with OCD. You wanna see my room? My room has every object plced on a 90 degree orientation. I still do this walk around my room, and I won't explain it cuz it'll make me look stupid. The entire reason why I'm typing like this is because when I was little, my OCD didnt let me type like this or else id be doing that for every post. A pet peeve of mine is when someone assumes I'm using the term OCD wrong, when I'm actually describing how mine works.

en-Vidia. who cares how to spell it, when noone grammars on the internet anymore. no capitalisation is used, apart from when typing from a phone... so its useless to argue.

 

What are you going to do? call the rCMP on me?

 

no i will rEPORT yOU tO tHE mODS.
