Poll: ok, time to settle this once and for all! Pronunciation of Gnome!!

[SinNisTeR]

i want to know how the majority says it.

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

I think its supposed to be Guh-nome just like guh-nu(GNU). But that sounds stupid so I say nome regardless of what anyone says

 

[n0cmonkey]

I say it nome or guh-nome depending on how much sleep Ive gotten.

 

[TheOmegaCode]

I pronounce it Gnome... 'nOm

 

[Colt45]

nOHm

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

GNU...Gnome...you pronounce the G on all of them.

 

[EHobaX]

Like David the Gnome. Not David the Guhnome. Haha.

 

[smp]

I don't know if guh-nome is the proper way, but I do pronounce the G .. just not guh, duh!

Gnome

like

Gomer
with an n minus the r

<< GNU...Gnome...you pronounce the G on all of them. >>



how do you pronounce the G tho? Gee like a standard G. or Guh?

GeeNUuu --- Geenome, Guhnome


/me thinks this thread is funny.

 

[dunkster]

Correct pronunciation for gnome is 'nome' - the g is silent.

Check the Fedex ad on tv.

Hope this helps!

 

[SinNisTeR]

so all the apps for gnome the gn is supposed to be just an N right? like standard english..

gnomba
gnapster
gnet

I've always said gnome like gnu. But i'm not sure about some other apps that start with g like some of the things written for gnome.

From the gnome faq:

Q: GNOME: "nome" or "guh-nome"?

A: In English, the word "gnome" is pronounced with a silent "g". However, GNOME itself is generally pronounced as "guh-nome", just as GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" when referring to the GNU Project.
