Back when video games had more imagination than pixels, there was a mech simulator game called G-Nome. Which was the name of the enemy, pronounced “Genome.”
I was wondering just now if that was what the devs were going for, originally? I had never thought about it.
I guess I missed the joke, because I always assumed there was no ambiguity on the pronunciation…
Are there people saying “G nome”, really ? I bet they calls GIF files Jiff, too!
Yes there are those who insist that the GNOME desktop environment is pronounced “guh-nome” because of GNU.
See, all open source software projects must have complete diaper fire names. Bonus points if you put more thought into the name than the software, like HURD.
