Gee No May. 😤
Making a fork of GNOME called GGNOME fr
GG Normie
And then I’m out there pronouncing it G-Nome…
I was hoping I wasn’t alone. I pronounced it genome for years before some neck beard took me to task for it. They also were mad at me for pronouncing CentOS like DOS (centahs rather than cent oh ess).
I also used to pronounce Gnome this way.
I’ll add I used to say “deb eye ann”, for Debian
And used to say “uh lie us”, for alias
I didn’t have a lot of people to talk about Linux with lol
this is like the dude who invented GIF thinking everyone was going to call it “jiff”. it ain’t happening, broski.

Except of course we did then and we do now. Too bad none of you ever looked at how G can be pronounced.
I understand that the letter G can make that sound. I am still saying, however, that the overwhelming vast majority of people pronounce it “gif” as in gift, and not “jiff” as in we’re not calling it that. stomp your feet as you will, it’s not gonna change anything.
No the overwhelming majority of kids think its pronounced that way. The majority of us who were around when it was written know how its pronounced. How do we know? We know because the guy who wrote it told us.
I first heard it in pronounced “jif” from a guy in my college dorm in the mid 90s. I’ve just pronounced it that way every since. Is it there a generation gap in how it’s pronounced? I do catch some flak from my kids about how I pronounce it.
The other guy told me it’s called X, but I still pronounce it Twitter.
Thank you for that pointless attempt at comparison. They never changed the name of gif nor the pronunciation of it.
I was around before gifs even existed. No one I knew ever pronounced it jif. It was always like gift. In fact, I never even heard any question of how it was pronounced well into the use of gifs.
Yeah ok boomer 😂
Okay Fetus but
Nope, try again.
I use KDE because I never want to have to worry about how to pronounce it. There is no ambiguity with KDE, it’s just K D E
I’ve actually seen discussions online and met one person who said it’s “K-DE” (kay-dee), so it’s not a sure thing.
So now you’ll have to find something else, hehe.
