We had this discussion before. Most people call the whole thing "Linux". It's just a name that people use. It's very common for people to use a name which isn't 100% right, but they do it anyway.
I am aware of how common this mistake is. However, this is more than just a mistake; the misnomer is unfair to us. To treat us fairly, would you please call the system "GNU/Linux"? Even if other people are unfair, that doesn't mean you should be like them. If I ask one of my friends "what is GNU" he doesn't just think of the OS, GNU is more than that. This appears to be a misunderstanding, because GNU is an operating system--no more, no less.
