MODERATORS
Slightly off topic, but there's a review video linked in the article, in which the guy keeps pronouncing the G in Gnome with notable emphasis...
I always assumed it was silent?
EDIT: TIL
The was a GNOME FAQ that describes “guh-NOME” or IPA /ɡˈnəʊm/ as the official pronunciation, due to the emphasis of G as GNU. It does acknowledge that many pronounce it “NOME” or /nəʊm/: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/aui/html/pronunciation.html
I know a few people including my university professor who call it gee-nome, I don't think there are particular reasons but it does emphasize the g from GNU as well as making an actual word.
What is it with UN*X stuff and ridiculously wanky initialisms
He pronounces Gnome correctly. Quote from a reddit thread "A lot of people say "guh-nome", which I think is the official way to say it, in the same vein as GNU, which is supposed to be pronounced "guh-new"."
I may or may not prefer to pronounce it as the lawn ornament just for fun. 😉
I assume it's a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.
When you put it that way, it makes sense. However, it doesn't make me hate it any less.
It's the same argument for GIF -- I don't give a flip what the inventor intended. You cannot just change phonics and expect everyone to play along. They're not Lego.
