FIGHT! (LOL)
=====
01. Oral Conciseness (syllables): Linux
02. Sounds better (catchy): Linux
03. Quicker to type: Linux
04. Less obscure/nerdy (aids adoption): Linux
05. Doesn't contain a slash: Linux
06. Doesn't make the orator sound like a mute: Linux
07. No ties to GPLv3 fanaticism: Linux
08. Doesn't contain acronyms: Linux
09. Upon hearing doesn't cause bowel disruption: Linux
10. Doesn't make you look like a pedant: Linux
11. Doesn't inflate Stallman's ego any further (still waiting on Hurd): Linux

TALLY
=====
Linux: 11
GNU/Linux: 0

FATALITY! LINUX WIN!
