Do you guys pronounce it Q-Emu (as in the letter Q then emu as in emulator) or kweemoo?


Personally I pronounce it "kwem-yoo" (first syllable starts like 'quest', second syllable like the second-person pronoun 'you'). But I think there are multiple pronunciations floating around...


Key-Moo for me… am I horribly wrong?


Q-Emu for me, with stress on the first and last syllables so that it almost rhymes. It probably sounds more like I'm spelling out Q-M-U.


This seems to be the most common pronunciation, but there's definitely variation:

I’ve always pronounced it Kim-you, although that’s probably incorrect


I might be the only one that uses the verbose Q E M U.
