minus-squarethantik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoYeah, but should you pronounce it Gee-en-yoo or Guh-no͞o? Huh? That REALLY tells me where your allegiances lay.
minus-squareWeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoI honestly didn’t know people pronounced it any other way than gee-en-you. It’s in all caps, so I figured you said each letter. Now that I think more about it though, I don’t know why I assumed that. I don’t say AWOL as ay-doubleyou-oh-el. I don’t say SNAFU as es-en-ay-ef-you. I’m just going to call it the OS for yaks from now on and never think about it again.
