Old New gnu [Object]
-
Some topics are more new than others on mobile (Firefox).
-
Bah, dupe with identical title. Carry on, nothing to see here.
-
Note that you also shouldn't be getting the number in a circle at the same time as a 'new'.
-
Double bug!

I see that all the time; there's nothing new about it.
-
About the number & new, I agree. But I've not seen the '# new new' version before.
-
Indeed, Discourse never ceases to surprise.
-

FTFY(Because someone's gonna do it so it might as well be me)
-
Can we get that fixed to read "new nu", "nu new", "gnu new" or "new gnu"?
-
Fixed the title to be more relevant
-
I have never heard GNU pronounced before. I have a tendency to say each letter of an acronym separately if the acronym is all caps... which means for a long time I also said SQL wrong and still do when I'm not thinking about it.

Well, I've heard somewhere that it is pronounced that way. But I didn't mean GNU, I meant gnu, as in "one of a herd of gnus".

As in S-Q-L vs sequel?
I've never heard anyone pronounce it sequel..
-
There was a Tales From The Interview article where the candidate pronounced each letter separately and the article made fun of it. Or maybe I'm confusing it with the C-Pound one.

According to Eric Raymond of The New Hacker's Dictionary fame, the correct pronunciation is /gnoo/, not /noo/. (And obviously not "gee-en-ewe.")
-
A bunch of people at my work say it like that and it drives me fucking insane. Sounds like "sequin" and it's also just dumb.
-
skwill?
-
Haven't heard that one yet, but knowing my company it's only a matter of time.

I pronounce it squirrel which, especially outside the English-speaking countries, produces endless confusion.
Combined with me saying "shock and squirrel"[1] instead of "shock and awe" due to them sounding reasonably similar, it provides endless fun.
[1] - squirrel - vjeverica, disbelief (what we use in the phrase instead of awe) - nevjerica
-
Virtually everyone I know in person that does dev involving SQL pronounces it 'sequel' which irritates me no end because I've always called it S-Q-L.
-
I pronounce mysql like "my-skwel", but I've caved to "Sequel server" since that's what the SQL guys call it at work
-
Many Finns call MySQL "muesli" as it's a lot easier to say than "My S-Q-L". I don't know where that originates from.

At work it seems to be the Microsoft SQL guys who say it 'sequel' and the Oracle SQL guys that say 'S Q L'.
skwel

The correct pronunciation is Squirrel, of course.
-
I pronounce it squirrel
that's absolutely genius! It's close enough to understand but far enough to go
Goal for next week: have the DBA go all nuts over my squirrel.
-
I disagree with the "close enough to understand part", but they are cute

Yeah, but...gamergate!

Practically everyone I know says "sequel." About the only time I don't is postgresql, which I generally pronounce as postgres-cue-ell.
The one exception I can think of off the top of my head is my father in law, whose belt onion is way yellower than anyone's here, and he's probably a bigger pendant in the ass, too. He insists on calling C++, "C incremented."

schwa

That's C postincremented!
Damned 19th century kids...

sequel
Yeah same. I use either sequel or es-cue-el, but usually do the former.
GNU's proper pronunciation is gu-nu IMO though. It's really hard to pronounce it properly otherwise

It should probably be the sound you make when you swallow something big and hard.

I did. I was fulfilling your requested

<They did if you made an empty post...

I just realized we inadvertently made the title for this topic very similar to Raymond Chen's blog...

No one reads raw any more, do they?
Listen, you POS Discurse. How dare you give me a "500 server error" when I try to post; and now this post is to #(&%^&^!@ similar to something I just posted. Do you actually have any %#$@^ idea what you've actually successfully posted for a user or not?! Obviously not.
I do. Well, "in the raw". In fact, I could even be reading this in the raw right now.

Remember when Discourse did blank posts all by itself?
-
Yeah, that was fun.....
-
wait, where tf did that
<hr>
come from??????????

Have I ever shown you my closet?

Oh.
Heh, I have your non-
