How is it pronounced, and how do you think it should be pronounced?
- djur 5y agoThe name is pronounced something like "gouse", and the blur is fairly commonly pronounced "goss-ian".

- wnoise 5y agoHuh. Must vary by community. I've only heard them pronounced in concordant ways, and closer to your first.
- ceras 5y agoFWIW, the Google Search pronunciation guide[0] says Guassian like "gouse-ian", which is the only way I've heard it pronounced (US east coast). It's also what I see as the phonetically-written pronunciation when checking a couple dictionaries[1], and this English blog post[2].

- djur 5y agoI am sure that it's just a case of people having read the word and never heard it spoken.
