    My point, which you seem to not understand, is that the company doesn’t define how the name is pronounced

    They do. They created the product they get to create the pronunciation.

    It was a word before they used it.

    Are you talking about Nike or gif, cause gif was not a word before.

    And “gif” is an acronym first, regardless of what the creator of the image format might think.

    … this has no bearing on the pronunciation at all.

    That is crazy because that’s literally what windows is known for haha. My wife’s gaming computer has restarted probably six times just this year without her wanting to just to install updates.

    What I’m guessing is happening is that your work has MDM enabled on your device and forces the updates through. That’s exactly what happened with the Mac work computers I’ve had while my home Mac laptops have never done that.

    I’m not sure what your comments about the arms have to do with anything. Your sternum is on your chest, wings on your back, I’m not understanding why you’re talking about arms.

    In regards to muscles having to wrap around the rib cage, that’s exactly how birds wing muscles work.

    Hummingbirds get lift on both strokes, forward and back, and require an extremely specialized set of wings to do so.

    In regards to your comment about muscles for lift, birds have a “keel bone” (like a boat) which is where the anchors for their wing muscles are. Equivalent to our sternum. So the muscles for flight in the image would be on the front, not the ribs or spine.
