Doesn't matter because for me, GNU/Linux is to emphasize the freedom part of it and Linux as a brand image does that. Saying GNU/Linux to me is same as saying Linux to a person who hasn't heard anything else but windows.. Objective achieved.. ;) Furthermore 'GNU/Linux' is technically as incorrect as 'Linux' since there are many non-GNU things in a typical distribution, such as MIT/BSD/Apache/Mozilla licensed etc. Linux is correct if you understand that I don't use it to refer to the kernel. Most people don't either.
