easy enough to resolve, since the G stands for GNU just pronounce it the same as that, and since GNU stands for GNU'S not UNIX, it pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU

If it wasn't for StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice Impress, is have thought a rename to Impress would be a good name.
