Seriously, why the F*CK is this allowed? Why can't freetards just name things properly?
why do anglos have such silly pronounciatio rules? why can't you simply pronouncy every letter consistently?

Gentoo is a soft g... Where'd you hear otherwise? Also I don't give a fuck what anyone says, I'm not saying "Guh-nome" like a fucking retard.

jif just sounds better to say. Softer letters just sound better in general.

What? You mean GNU? I just avoid trying to say that word at all in any case, literally makes anyone that says it look like they're having a stroke. See pic related.
I'm not a bloody linguistics expert, but when I was a kid watching David the Gnome (in b4 boomer memes), they didn't pronounce it "David the Guh-nome". I always figured the g was silent in "gnu".
