Re: [Txauth] GNAP it is

[Mike Jones <[e-mail]>]

I don’t care a lot one way or the other.  My main point is that no matter what guidance we give, many people are likely to pronounce the “G”.  If we try to insist on it being silent, we should get used to the fact that we’ll probably be hearing both pronunciations.

                                                       -- Mike

P.S.  Thanks for the Smurfs link, Vittorio!

Perhaps not to be taken too seriously, but here’s prior art on GNAP pronunciation.
As Leif mentioned few mails ago, “GNAP” appeared on the Smurfs comic and was reprised in a cartoon episode as well.
You’ll find few examples around 3:30

Checking in again on pronunciation.

Mike: do you still have concerns with a silent 'G'?

Anyone else have concerns?

I'd like to nip pronunciation confusion in the bud by having the recommended pronunciation in the charter.

OK, that's the last of my snarky comments, let's get to work!
