How do you say GNOME?

[ECas123]

A little argument was sparked on a friends YouTube video when he said "guh-nome" so I was wondering if any of you could make a video response saying how you pronouce it and why or if you even care how people say it.

[swoll1980]

I say it like ga-nome

[CJ Master]

There are two "proper" ways to say it. G-nome and gnome (like a garden gnome.)

[OutOfReach]

I usually say it as I would garden gnome

Apparently saying gnome. :p

[73ckn797]

Gnome = nome as in home, silent "g". It is like the word gnat = nat, silent "g"/

[Eviltechie]

Gee-nome

[konqueror7]

gee-nowm = GNOME...just doesn't fit to pronounce it as a garden Gnome...:D

[73ckn797]

Do you also pronounce gnat as geenat or g-nat?):P

[konqueror7]

@73ckn797
haha...of course not...GNOME is an acronym, so there are many possibilities to pronounce it...compared to 'gnat' and 'gnome' which are already defined in the dictionary on how to pronounce it...

like CIA, its cee-ay-ey, not ceeya...:D
or KDE, it can be kay-dee-e or keedeh or whatever that person may like to call it...

[schauerlich]

Gih-nome, Gih-nu.

Hey, I might have saved you a 10 point infraction.

I usually say "nome" but if I'm talking to my cousin, I say "g'nome", cause he thinks thats right and proper. Then I ask him if the g'nats are biting, and if he's ever seen a g'nu, and then after awhile I start adding a g' to about ever g'third word I g'say in a sentence just becuase I can.

Pig Latin is another interesting way to talk.

Gnome = ome-gna; ome-gayna or ome-na (remember silent "g").:guitar:

Lol "ome-gna" made me laugh, I heard Oh-mah-gah in my head when I read it.

Funny!!

It could also be pronounced Omagna but that sounds like a song of reverence to the Magna Carta.

[jprophet420]

nome of course.

"In classical genetics, the genome of a diploid organism including eukarya refers to a full set of chromosomes or genes in a gamete; thereby, a regular somatic cell contains two full sets of genomes."

G-Nome is how MTV would have you say it.

No. The only acceptable way to say great is grrrrrrrrreat!

Wikipedia says it is pronounced ga-nome - GNOME (pronounced /ɡəˈnoʊm/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English)), so does ZDNet UK (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,2071014,00.htm)

I personally believe that's wrong, the "G" is silent. So it's just "nome".

I have a better one, and one I am not sure about. It's the "Asus" company that makes computer parts. Is it pronounced A-Zeus or A-suhs?

"Ay-sus".

My mother pronounces it Ay-Zeus, but I pronounce it Ay-sus.

LOL!

Before I saw Tony, as I read the comment, before scrolling down, I thought of Tony.

[BlazeFire247]

"nowm" I simply say it with a silent G.

[H2SO_four]

I pronounce it like Gnome=HUH? jk. silent g like david the gnome

[mancha]

I clearly and simply say it as it's spelt, the same as in garden gnome.

[juancarlospaco]

GNOME is not the problem, the problem is LXDE

[adrianx]

You just won't believe it, no matter what. :)

Anyway, I pronounce it KDE. :shock:

/me ducks under table

[deepclutch]

Jee-NOME.Earlier Pronounced as Garden Gnome. :)

[starcannon]

Gnome the choice of a Gnu generation.

[clonne4crw]

+1. People who don't know what it is often question it, though.
