I'm having trouble with this one.. For example someone mentioned a
possible replacement for that buzzword compliant gnome slogan "Computing
made easy" would be something like "Gnome: A GNU labor of Love"...
Thats all fine and dandy if you pronounce GNU as 'new' ... but I've heard
Miguel in an interview speak 'Gnome' as "GAH-Nohme"... Where does the
"GAH" come from? And does it apply to "GNU" (GAH-New-ee??)...
Miguel also pronounces GUI -> Gooey ..... (I've always pronounced it as
'guy') .. Okay , so i dont get out much when it comes to Linux and maybe
Miguel isn't the source of authority on pronunciation :) (Where ya lack in
some parts ya make up for in others right :)
Of course Tony the Tiger has been pronouncing 'Great' -> GAH-Rate! since I
was 2 feet tall .. maybe those two guys are onto something...
