GWT pronounced «gwit»

Seriously? First I've heard this is how you pronounce it. And how does one pronounce gwit? I think I'll continue to call it: G.W.T.

First I've heard of this too.

Obviously "gwit" is pronounced as "jwit", right?

Yes, seriously (at least that's what I heard people at Google calling it). How many different ways could you pronounce "gwit"? (If you really don't get it, it's like "quit" but with a voiced consonant at the beginning).

I was seeing it as gee-wit. jwit also comes to mind.

Not that I have any stake in it, but the most confusing thing to me is that it doesn't mention the words "Google Web Toolkit" until the Tutorial page. It's an abbreviation; one that describes the product quite well (a toolkit for web apps, built by Google). Silly to bury it.
