Yes I did :) I found myself and everybody else never reading it like Q.A... so, well, just use the more natural pronunciation!


Reminds me of the scene from the Tom Hanks movie The Wonders where the band is originally cute with the spelling, Oneders, and an emcee introduces them as the Oh-Nee-Ders.

For the opposite effect, does anyone else find themselves pronouncing gnu (the animal) with a hard G, a la GNU?


guh-new vs. new (referring to wildebeest) is something I remember from days before rms' GNU even existed.
