I pronounce it "Gee nome", personally.  I don't know why, but I thought it sounded better at some point in history, so eh? :)

:o NOOOOOOOOOOOOO..OOOO!

We all do it. I've pronounced your name in my head "e ah go (yago)" for a while. At one point, I thought Spht had an a in it or something, I've always thought of him as "Sphalt (asphalt)". Unsure why, first impressions just stick, especially name pronunciations.

I've always thought "spit" was more appropriate.  :P

Here's the problem: a window manager is necessary for Linux to compete with Windows.  However, if you don't learn Linux outside of the window manager, you can't hardly do anything powerful with it.  You'll miss bash scripting, you'll not get the commands, you won't know how to fix it when it breaks.

That's why they made X terminals. :)

I've always pronounced his name "Sfit."  How's it supposed to be pronounced?

It's pronounced "Meow"

[Sidoh]

It's pronounced "Meow"

Haha.  I think picking names that are impossible to understand how to pronounce by the laws of language (unless you make it obvious that it's an acronym or something) is mean! :(

"Meow" is a link, btw.

"Meow" is a link, btw.

We noticed. :)

I pronounce spht: Spit and pronounce iago: eye-a-go
I pronounce sidoh: Sihdow.

I pronounce sidoh: Sihdow.

I initially pronounced iago "eye - aye - go," but I've realized that was wrong and now see it as "yah - go."

Spht seems to be ss - fit to me, but I don't know.  It's a weird name.

I'm actually unsure of the correct pronounciation of "Sidoh," since it's not a real word or name, but I say "Sigh - Dough."  "Sid - Oh" works fine too, though. :)
