Thought so once, decided to call this operating system just "GNU". But then I remembered it can be used with a different kernel (I tried it with Hurd once, and Arch Linux can use even a third kernel, the one from FreeBSD). So, it made more sense to me to name it system/kernel: GNU/Linux, GN

It is like "Microsoft loves Linux", Microsoft can not see diferrences between a kernel and an OS. And the first time I used GNU/Linux, it was Ubuntu, and I though that time that it was just "Linux", while not knowing nothing about GNU, FSF and RMS.
