Joe Fawcett scripsit: > The official pronunciation of 'gnu' is 'nu' according to both Collins and > the concise OED. Pronouncing the 'g' started as a bit of a joke and has now > spread. Oh yes. But the pronunciation of "GNU", as in "GNU Manifesto" or "GNU operating system' or "GNU/Linux", always sounds the G. (Use of a click is entirely optional.) Similarly, the first syllable of "Linux" is either "Lynn" or "Leen", although the normal rules of English spelling (such as they are) would make it "Line". -- John Cowan jcowan@r... www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan "The exception proves the rule." Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves my theory." Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts the rule to the proof." But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
