Seriously, WTF is this?
GNU is one syllable, like "grew"
That's the least of G+L's problems.
>guh-new slash li-nucks
That's five syllables.
"No one has an issue with saying unfortunately"
Like that has fuckall to do with anything
>>51532090
>>guh
Off yourself retard.
>>51532090
Do you think "grew" and "fire" are two syllables, since you can say them like "guh-rew" or "fiyerr"?
>>51532148
have you ever heard RMS pronouce GNU? its pronounced "guh-new"
>>51532058
what?
so is stallman officially dropping the slash?
Wow and that guy was trying to make a constructive suggestion too
There are tons of brands and companies with 4+ syllables
>Lockheed Martin
>Mercedes Benz
>American Express
>JC Penney
>Nvidia
etc.
Nobody except rms wants to use "GNU/Linux" because everybody has been calling it "Linux" forever, and most of us have only heard of this being a controversy for maybe 5 years. People will go from a long name to an abbreviated name, but nobody wants to go from a short name to a long one.
Also, if a bunch of marketing people got together, the names "GNU", "Linux", and "GNU/Linux" would all be scrapped completely.
>>51532180
If you want to shorten it, you can just say "GNU" :)
>>51532150
Obviously not, but GNU isn't a real word. The animal gnu has a silent G.
>>51532078
this desu senpai
No grill is going to use anything with that piece of shit plastered onto it.
>>51532181
GNU Is Not Linux
GINL
It even looks like the typical GINL user after using GINL.
It's
"gee" "en" "u" "lin" "ux"
Gee-en-you
sa-lesh
loe-niks
>>51532125
>not realizing the question starts with that word
It's like you're not even clever enough to grasp the joke he's making. And, he's not particuarly sharp these days either...
>>51532150
Stallman pronounces GNU, GNOME et cetera with a hard "Guh" to distinguish the software from its soft-G namesakes.
GANOOO PLAS LEENOOKS
>>51532472
Fuck off Pajeet
It's guh-nu
All the slash do be silent, that wasn't him
