There are remarkable few English words if you don't count the ones
we've burrowed. ;)
From an entirely practical standpoint, I find it imperative to
pronounce the G in some fashion:
Me (to our SysAdmin): Would you install Gnu make, please?
SysAdmin: We already have the latest patches from Sun.
Me: No. I mean G'nu make.
