    I think going of out your way to type four more letters shows appropriate appreciation for the historical significance of the GNU project.

      I think that sort of pedantry over semantics is one of the reasons the Linux community has such a bad reputation.

        You vlassifying it as “pedantry” supports my point. It’s also ironic, considering you told somebody else to not call it GNU+Linux instead of the other way around.
