To my non-English ears it sounds like he pronounces "GNU" in "GNU Radio" like "guinea". Is there a specific reason why it is pronounced differently than Stallman's GNU?
- detaro 5y agono,just spelling out the acronym for whatever reason.
- Aengeuad 5y agoDo you have a particular timestamp where you're hearing that? To me it sounds like he's pronouncing it the same way that Stallman does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK52v6bCPvg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK52v6bCPvg

- Centigonal 5y agoI believe "guinea" is pronounced "gin-ee" (with a hard g) and GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" (again, hard g). I think he's pronouncing it right in the video, but he's not enunciating super well, so it gets a bit muddy. Edit: When you have a schwa, some people will use more of a "u" sound ("guhnoo") while others might use a different sound (this guy's closer to "gihnoo") - it really depends on accent/upbringing and how you speak I think. It actually took me a few listens before I could parse it out.
