--- Comment #14 from Benjamin Weber
It is the English preferred spelling which is Wildebeest, which just got bastardised into gnu. Cheap entertainment shows are so bad for language purity.
OED's researched etymology would disagree with you. According to OED gnu was the original spelling, derived from the native word, wildebeest came later. I suggest you provide a scholarly source that differs from OED if you do not agree. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
