    Back when video games had more imagination than pixels, there was a mech simulator game called G-Nome. Which was the name of the enemy, pronounced “Genome.”

      I was wondering just now if that was what the devs were going for, originally? I had never thought about it.

      I guess I missed the joke, because I always assumed there was no ambiguity on the pronunciation… Are there people saying “G nome”, really ? I bet they calls GIF files Jiff, too!
