I'm seeing more and more people nowadays not thinking you pronounce the G in GNOME

@BrodieOnLinuxMeanwhile here's me on Linux for 10 years and now get strange looks by non-linux users when I pronounce "garden gnome" with a hard G.

@BrodieOnLinux There's no right pronunciation. I know lots of GNOME folks pronounce it G-nome, and others Nome. Personally I don't pronounce the G either.

@BrodieOnLinux I've been doing Linux a long time and I've even managed to quit vim, so believe me it's pronounced as genome.

@BrodieOnLinux The fact somebody pronounced something for 25 years doesn’t mean much. Only recently, I learned that all Czech pronounce #Emacs incorrectly, and I remember when Milan Zamazal claimed that year 2000 is a good opportunity to start using Czech diacritic and presented his macros for Emacs ;).

@BrodieOnLinux Everyone knows you can only build and run Linux if you pronounce gnome correctly.These two things are totally connected

@BrodieOnLinux Pronounce it GENOME, like the biology term. That is the perfect middle-ground 😆

@BrodieOnLinux they don't care on the gnome side, I say G-nome because gnome isn't a word in Dutch, so I pronounce it like a name.We don't translate gnome to dwerg either... But they say on there website that they don't care!

@BrodieOnLinux I think using a hard 'g" is part of the 'lame joke' about the naming. Whether it is correct or not is irrelevant and probably doesn't matter.With context, calling it out one way or the other is not useful IMO.

@BrodieOnLinux Well they are wrong, the #Gnome desktop is pronounced with the G.Would it really kill #developers to avoid naming things in such a way that the pronunciation is ambiguous? Prime example: #Ubuntu. I and everyone I know (that knows anything about Linux) calls it "You-bun-too" and since none of us were familiar with the African pronunciation of the word nor what it meant, we just started pronouncing it phonetically (American English) and that seems to be how everyone here still pronounces it, unless maybe they are making a speech or video. This confusion could have all been avoided if they had chosen another name with an unambiguous pronunciation, or maybe if they had printed (what they consider) the correct pronunciation on every CD cover or sleeve they sent out in the early. But almost no one, particularly in English-speaking North America, is really certain exactly how it is supposed to be pronounced, so many of us just keep saying "You-bun-too" !There are probably a few other example of this in the tech world. But then beyond that there is the matter of developers using too similar names for versions. If I told you "I am running that #Debian version that starts with a B" you would probably have no idea which version I am talking about (Buzz? Bo? Buster? Bullseye? Bookworm?), yet if you are not a Toy Story fan (or don't have kids) you might have a real hard time keeping the versions straight!

@BrodieOnLinux people should finally realize, that in most languages other than English there is no such thing as silent G anyway.

@BrodieOnLinux I always pronounced it with the G being silent.Although...I always wondered why in the English language the G in gnome is silent to begin with.English is weird.

@BrodieOnLinux Silent letters are just stupid. Why write them if you're not using them? And yes, I use G in GNOME too.

@BrodieOnLinux @cooleech there's a rule, you must have at least 3 digits of IQ to speak the language coherently, that's why niggers can't speak English.

@maple @BrodieOnLinux lol like half the language will be mispronounced by some nigger or snob, but that doesn't mean we should stop using English."Gnome" is pronounced without the g. Get over it, even my name has a different pronounciation in Russian than in English, yet whenever any Australian native speaker reads it without having heard it, they always read it the same way. Which makes it the correct English pronounciation.
