To myself, I say it like the first choice, except with a short 'i" instead of long, i.e., g mick.

I pronounce it as in gimik. I do look at the ' in G’MIC.

/Gimmick/, and ‘clang’ is pronounced /klang/ as in klangfarbenmelodie.

Thanks @David_Tschumperle* and friends for G’MIC.

I pronounce it the Klingon way, with the /x/ (?, my IPA is out of date) from “gagh” :slight_smile:

Indeed, every time I see G'MIC, I think of the law of alien names and punctuation shaker tropes. I should really get around to renaming my handle to a-f're.

gə 'mɪk (guh MICK), like GNU in GNU/Linux where the hard G is pronounced.

I know it may be wrong, but in my head, I’ve always seen G’MIC as giimmick. lololol

G-MIC is fine, too, but I’ll stick with mentally pronouncing it gimmick. To each his or her own. :slight_smile:

Gee-MICK, when speaking to others.

Guh sounds too much like duh, and thus I use Gee
