I think there a bunch of mispronunciations. OP seems to be referring to the “new” mispronounciation, while I was referring to the spelling out mispronunciation.
I was contrasting it with the animal “gnu”, otherwise known as the wildebeest, which is pronounced more similar to the word “new”. I suspect more people know the animal gnu than know the organization GNU.
I always pronounced it guh-new as in “Gary Gnu”.
How is it supposed to be pronounced?
I think you’re right. I think some people say G-N-U.
same one’s that say “ess queue elle” when they mean squirrel probably.
G-N-U, like spelling it out?
