Re: AW: GNU or [G]NU (Pronunciation of...)

2002-06-24 Thread Jared Still


I've always pronounced it, and heard it pronounced:  Guh-noo.

Like the animal, which is the GNU logo.

 Hi mkb125

 AFAIK, it is silent, as in Gnome ;).
 And as I was told, it's pronounced almost
 like the American way of pronouncing new.
 So I guess it's supposed to be a word play,
 even though it's old software ;).

 Have a nice and sunny day ... at work,
 Stefan

H... http://www.m-w.com would seem to think that the G is gsilent.

And they have a pretty picture of a gnu, too, for your review, Cindy Lou
