Go - Dough. God - Oh.

Or even "g'dough", either way the T is always silent.

Most of the folks I've heard making tutorials about it pronounce it "guhDOUGH." To get that FOSS cred the name has to be a dumpster fire.

Ubuntu.

Oo boon too?

Oo bun too?

Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.

... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.

I use openSUSE, and they made a music video and everything to teach people to pronounce it yet people still get it wrong. Such is life I guess.

I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.

But it is oo-boon-too.

Dang, I can't say I've ever heard You Bun Too... thats new to me!

There's an Arduino-based CNC controller firmware called GRBL. Gurble? Gerbil? Garble? GeeArrBeeElle? GuhRuhBuhLuh?

Hah! I'm gonna go with the last one, hahaha!

No, YOUR anus!

I'll say it that way sometimes, haha!

I also have a tendency to shorten 'good night' and 'good morning' and even 'good to see you!' into just basically g' with a glottal stop, haha.
