For whatever difference actual use makes, I say 'siss-op', 'moe-dem', 
and 'gif' (hard g. i can't even think of any other way to indicate
that word should be pronounced with a hard g, other than how it's 
spelt).

What I'm curious about, is how do you folks pronounce 'GNU'?  
'Nu' is proper (for the animal, anyway) but i've never heard anything 
but 'ge-nu' used for the software.

    c.r.
