I think it's a reference to Qt which is pronounced "cutie."
- andrewf 17y agoNokia/Trolltech pronounce it "cute."
- awolf 17y agoYes... but Qt sounds like cutie when you say it. Its a huge nitpick, sure- but witty just doesn't make any sense. A person has no chance of correctly pronouncing the name when reading "Wt" for the first time.
- gloob 17y agoTo be honest, a literate person with English as their first language will almost certainly mispronounce GNU the first time, particularly if they see the logo as well. Not that this in any way actually contradicts your point, admittedly; it's more that I don't really understand the significance of pronounceability in the grand scheme of things. Clojure, too, for that matter. I got the reference, but thought the j was pronounced as a j the first time I saw it.
