Personally I prefer to pronounce it the wrong way, with a silent g, cause
guh-nome sound guh-stupid to me.  Course I like lye-nuks better too, cause
it sounds tougher than the whimpy sounding lin-uks, or the european
lee-nooks.

(My wife's family pronounces it Bree-an Cloof.  I don't argue with them,
thats equally fine by me... I sounds a little exotic now.  hehehe)
