I just saw a tutorial on YT, and the guy pronounce it G. M. I.C. (he pronounced each letter)
Some people call it G. mic
I saw many people which sounds struggling when they say g’mic in one word.
And myself, I call it gimmick because it’s very easy to pronounce when I speak and also it’s full of very-nice gimmicks ( define gimmick - Google Suche ) and G’MIC-Qt i call it gimmick-cute…
At the end of the day, Do you know how to pronounce G’MIC when you speak?
I’d say “pronounce it as you like”, all variants are fine
Personnally, I call it also gimmick because:
I’m French and I believe it’s more natural to say like this in French (but not even sure).
Gimmick is a term sometimes used in magick, and G’MIC is “GREYC’s Magic for Image Computing” (that’s why gmicky the mascot by David Revoy is a magician).
Sort of like the Australian greeting phrase g’day…
Addendum: Oh how I envy British headline writers.
When they published an article about a thesis, dealing with
Australian greeting phrases, they named it Fifty shades of g’day.
