carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago…do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?
for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word “gnome”), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU
imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine

Dammit. I want arguments. Chaos. But yes, I do soft G GIMP. Not GNU or GNOME. I do say GNOME with a G, though. I mean, I don’t talk about these things IRL. These words don’t show up in my convos. Actually, it might be without a G. I guess I could start soft G’ing GNU and GNOME, just because. It’s how I got to soft G GIF, by going the opposite way I was doing. And now it just be like that, and hard G GIF feels kinda weird.
