Believe it or not I've actually caught myself doing "knifes before", now mind you it was only a typo, and I am pretty sure I caught it before hitting send each time, but I don't know for sure.
On computer side of things how about the entire world choosing to pronounce the extension .gif with a G sound instead of a J sound
Ah, the arbitrary, counterintuitive and nonsensical pronunciation that Steve Wilhite decreed for the
Graphics
Interchange
Format file extension. His insistence that anyone pronounce "GIF" like "JIF" is pure and simple trolling in my opinion, and I refuse to comply.
and this use across most forms of words with the prefix "Giga"
Despite gigabyte having two hard G sounds
in English, French speakers correctly pronounce "gigagbyte" with a soft first G, and a hard second G,
in their own language, as demonstrated here:

To be correct, they should use two hard Gs when speaking English, but but how often do people get the accents right for a language other than their native one?
