Word Pronunciations

[Dr Small]

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 ;)

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 )

[Dr Small]

And tell me, how do you pronounce Chmod ?
I pronounce it See-Ach-Mod

Vista (Vee-sta)
Xubuntu (Ex-eww-bun-too)

Dunno what Chmod is. I would just say (in Danish) C H mod.

[FirefoxWiz]

I say Chmod as:
C - Mod

GNU (Gee - N - You)
Gnome (G-Nome)
IRC (Eye - Are - Sea)

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.
