My opinion is that, for many people around the world, ‘the’ contains a quite unusual sound which can be hard to pronounce, and say/write only ‘GIMP’ is much more concise and simple. Actually, ‘The GIMP’ is certainly still correct but less practical in most cases. ‘This is the official website of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP).’ The developed version uses ‘the’, the acronym does not keep it. -- Sylvain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
