When you see words on the internet, sometimes it's hard to figure up a pronunciation to learn how to
say it, instead of
type it.
I know I say some words wrong, but this is just a study to see how
you say words
Here are some examples of words and the way I say them:
GNU (
Gee - En - You)
Gnome (
Nome)
IRC (
Eye - Are - See)
Linux (
Lin - ucks)
Ubuntu (
Eww - Bun - Too)
So, tell me how you pronounce words, and some different words than listed here ;)
Dr Small
Actually, I think on the GNU's Site it also says you can pronounce it 'Guh-noo' as well.
openSUSE is 'open-su-ze'
Ubuntu
Oo-bun-too
Xubuntu
Zoo-bun-too
GNOME
Gnhome
Vista
Vihsta
GNU
Gnhoo
Linux
Li-nueks
(It's a bit difficult for me to write it down, 'cause I do not speak English normally. I am from Denmark, you know
)
And tell me, how do you pronounce Chmod ?
I pronounce it See-Ach-Mod
Vista (Vee-sta)
Xubuntu (Ex-eww-bun-too)
Dr Small
Dunno what Chmod is. I would just say (in Danish) C H mod.
I say Chmod as:
C - Mod
GNU (Gee - N - You)
Gnome (G-Nome)
IRC (Eye - Are - Sea)
Linux (Lin - ux)
Ubuntu (U - bun - to)
Vista (Ve - sta)
Xubuntu (X - U - bun - to)
Linux Line-ux
GNU Gee-en-you
IRC Eye-are-see
Fedora Fed-or-a
Ubuntu You-boon-to
Gnome no-oh-m
chmod Change-Mode
chgrp Change-Group
chown Change-Owner
windows Win-blo-ws
Microsoft Mac-ro-turd

How would you like Apple fan boys calling linux by some name?
Anyway,
SuSE: Susah (I believe thats how they said to pronounce it in a linux magazine.
)
IRC: Eye are see
GNU: Gee en u
CHMOD: as the letters.
Windows: Windows
Vista: Vista (Well, I guess thats because I know some Spanish.
)

As long as they can prove their point, I wouldn't care less.
