No controversy there.  It says in the docs to pronounce the "G".

Is a "^" a carrot or an up-arrow?

I pronounce "su" ess-you(unless someone uses it against me, then it's sue :-),
I once said eff-stab before I realized what the file was for.

Then there's dot-mail-rick.  Also, dit, double-dit and back-dit(' " and `). 

A new one I heard was hash-include-studio-dot-aich.
