I do not buy things often on eBay, usually an item or 2 every few years but it always feels like I need to send an email to convince someone to attempt to send my won items.

Here you have my money and have done so for a week, please send my items, please.

http://411mania.com/wrestling/wwe-s...nnet-omalus-research-for-concussion-lawsuits/

– WWE has subpoenaed CTE expert Bennet Omalu for the lawsuit filed against them by Evan Singleton and Vito LoGrasso in regard to comcussions suffered during their time with the company. The Boston Globe reports that the company filed for a subpoena back in April to get all of the records that Omalu has on professional wrestlers.

According to the outlet, WWE is intending to challenge Omalu’s diagnosis of Chris Benoit as suffering from CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). Omalu — who was recently brought back into the public eye via the film Concussion — was one of the first researchers into chronic traumatic encephalopathy and in 2007 was working with Chris Nowinski to research the condition. After procuring Benoit’s brain, he diagnosed Benoit with severe CTE, which was the first confirmation of the disease in a WWE talent. Nowinski had done his part in publicizing the findings, which WWE had disputed at the time.

The portion of Singleton and LoGrasso’s lawsuit that was allowed to move forward alleges that WWE knew there was a risk to them during the time they worked for the company after the Wellness Policy was instituted; other lawsuits and portions of the duo’s lawsuit from before the Wellness Policy’s institution were thrown out. Omalu, who acrimoniously split with Nowinski for reasons that have never been made clear (Nowinski said in a recent article, “The truth of the split has never been told.”), has obtained the brains of Chyna, Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney and is studying them for CTE. If they are diagnosed, that could complicate WWE’s case against Singleton and LoGrasso.

The article notes that this puts Nowinski in a potentially difficult position, as WWE is one of his Concusion Legacy Foundation’s largest benefactors but he has publilcly supported Omalu’s findings in the past. When asked by the Globe if he stands by Omalu’s diagnosis of benoit, he said in a statement through the CLF, “I am not a neuropathologist and I relied on Dr. Omalu’s statement that the brain met his criteria for a CTE diagnosis. I had no reason to question the diagnosis.” In his book Head Games: The Global Concussion Crisis, Nowinski wrote, “I was certain Benoit had suffered from CTE.”

WWE has attempted for years to obtain Omalu’s research on professional wrestlers but has never been successful.

You don't know what you're talking about. Either one is acceptable. But "jiff" is the cool kids pronunciation.

"Either one" is not acceptable. There's the right pronunciation: GIF. And there's the wrong one: JIF.

There's no world in which "Graphics" does not become a hard G. It's an abomination and the world needs to rid itself off of it.

I think it's funny how the GIF format has been around for YEARS, but it's cool with the kiddos today haha.

Before it was "cool" today, I always saw as the lowest possible resolution, crappy format for an image. Much rather used BMP or JPG, but BMP's were huge file sizes back then.

The other day we were translating a text in class and the word ヒール (Heel), was in there. The teacher didn't know what it meant so he looked it up. "Oh, apparently it's was they call the bad guys in wrestling hehe".
I wanted to say what it was but man, that wouldn't have been #SAFE so I stayed silent

You juys are dumb. I mean, I probably shouldn't be wasting my time because people are weirdly married to their preferred pronunciation of gif, but...

And aren't there a bunch of other words like SCUBA and JPEG, etc. etc. that would sound hilarious following your perceived rules?

I doubt it will sway you fruit bats, but it's a silly thing to be so invested in. You're fighting the most unnecessary losing battle.

Dictionaries just describe how words are being used, they're subjective af and only wrong because that dumb fuck programmer can't pronounce acronyms correctly.

Your examples are weird though, since peg is a word, it's logical to say Jay-Peg, it's logica. Same thing with scuba, we have the word cube and the country Cuba, which guides the reader to understand how to pronounce scuba.

I've heard a few interviews with that Omalu guy. His research seems super important but man does he never come across that well. Not arrogant or anything just...manic and a bit unhinged. not the calm, incisive doctor at the head of groundbreaking findings.

So, if you know that pronunciations are subjective, why get hot about jif? I mean, I enjoy the tongue-in-cheek war, but you seem to be taking it seriously. >_>

I still need to listen to that. But I'm in the middle of the Lapsed Fan Starrcade journey ('90 to be exact).

Why is Bray so butthurt?
Click to expand...

Probably because he got called out on copying the final deletion to many times.

I, personally, don't think both are similar, except for the fact both are more cinematic than regular wrestling stuff. But the tone and direction is very different.

But, yeah, at this point, Bray should just stop being a baby about it and shut up and move on. Whether or not it was a copy, it's done and everyone has the right to voice their opinion.

LANGUAGE IS GETTING RAPED ZACH. This is no laughing matter.

One of my colleagues insists on saying "jif" and my IT-autism can't handle that.
