I worked for a cloud company that rhymes with frugal. They had sent a customers data into another customer’s environment. The customer who unknowingly received this data had to be locked out of their environment for a week until they were able to remove the other customers data.

I asked chat GPT and it couldn't understand which company you were talking about. I think you will be safe for now! 😏

Wow, not even A tech company, but THE tech company that rhymes with frugal.

So I've either been saying Google or frugal wrong. Which one is it?

Oh nevermind: /ˈfɹuːɡəl/ /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/

I could be wrong, but I don’t think most native English speakers distinguish between the two. Wikipedia says Philadelphia’s accent does.

Well that's good to hear, maybe that is where I picked it up (not a native speaker)
