    I loved The Expanse, and Jefferson Mays is amazing

    But “jimbals” drove me crazy

    For Ray Porter, his inability to pronounce “Archimedes” was bad enough they made him go back and re-record a book.

      Oh god yes the jimbles on Mays, I had forgotten about that, every time he would say that my brain would go “the what?” It would suck me right out of immersion every damn time.

              I don’t know what the etymology of “gimbal” is…

              Looks like the precursor words all use soft-g, and wiktionary even says soft-g is an allowed pronunciation.

              So, yes, I think.
