Slightly off topic, but there's a review video linked in the article, in which the guy keeps pronouncing the G in Gnome with notable emphasis...

I always assumed it was silent?

EDIT: TIL

I assume it's a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.

When you put it that way, it makes sense. However, it doesn't make me hate it any less.

It's the same argument for GIF -- I don't give a flip what the inventor intended. You cannot just change phonics and expect everyone to play along. They're not Lego.
