I live in scotland where everyone I've talked to calls them a-gates where the first letter is pronounced soft.

Maybe because those streamers come from Europe and Agate is pronounced A-ga-tee or A-ga-t(e) short e.
Now depending on on how the a is pronounced there it might sound like "a gate"
Ditto on the first world problems.

It's actually agət in both, but different accents pronounce the schwa differently.

When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Agit. Easy.

Personally I'm okay with people mispronouncing things. They're on a stream for a computer game. I'm not expecting Seth Lerer.

'Rouge' exile, however, really gets my goat.


But all the exiles get covered in some form of red by the time I'm done with them.
