Is it pronounced gnu or jnu?

Are you gnu here?

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Jnu enough to stoke an ancient flame war for my personal entertainment.

Unironic answer, the "g" is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

@zqwzzle@lemmy.ca @flamingos@feddit.uk it’s pronounced .GIF

The G in GIF stands for Graphical, but the G in Graphical stands for Graham Crackers, the G in Graham Crackers stands for God, and the G in God stands for Gnu. From there it's Gnus all the way down. Also, God pronounces "Graphical" with a soft G as in Jod.
