Stallman's pronunciation sure sounds like two syllables to me... Guh-new. It's much harder to say as a single syllable than the word "grew," which they compare

Stallman's pronunciation sure sounds like two syllables to me... Guh-new.
It's much harder to say as a single syllable than the word "grew," which they compare it to.
I wish they had named it something better. The recursive joke doesn't help. The odd sequence of letters that are hard for most English speakers to say makes it worse. The fact that there is an actual English word with those letters, but pronounced differently, makes it even worse.
