I've never given it much thought, I didn't even know the "g" in gnu is  
silent (in the German word "Gnu" once pronounces the g).  I call it "g  
Fortran" ("g" as in "the letter g"), and the equivalent in German,  
"Geh Fortran", which in my native region's Bavarian doesn't sound very  
nice ("gäh Fortran, wos wuißtn domit?" -- more or less "Uh Fortran,  
why'd you use that").

HTH,
