Re: [Txauth] GNAP it is

[Dick Hardt <[e-mail]>]

Hey Vittorio

Thanks for sharing the video and where the word is pronounced -- guh-nap
for those that have not watched it. ( I saw the usage of "gnap" in what
Leif shared, but did not see pronunciation )

Are you concerned with the silent G pronunciation, or just sharing data?

A concern voiced with guh-nap was the association with GNU work.

(I'm hoping to check off this last co-chair item on my list ... )
