…do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?

for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word "gnome"), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU

imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine

idk, but the G in GIMP (ugh) does stand for GNU

i wonder if it’s also the official reason that it’s (typically) pronounced in GNOME?

honestly kinda disappointed they switched to calendar versioning, it makes identifying big releases much harder

GNU IMP (i refuse to say the short name) 3.0.0 was such an event, it’s sad knowing libreoffice can’t really have that
