What?! They are said differently?
Guh-nome for the software. It's a play on how GNU is guh-noo, which is a play on the pronunciation of the animal called gnu to differentiate it. This is what happens when you let software developers name things. I would know, being a software developer.
I never even noticed, because it's g-nome and g-noo in german xD Also took me a while to notice the K in Mortal Kombat
Mortal Ombat!
N- noo not like that!!!
