Seconded.
Lye-nuckz.
Stop calling it "Linux"
You've missed Stallman's point. Linux is not an operating system in itself becaue Linux is a kernel program and not an operating system. Normally, people pair the Linux program with the operating system called GNU. This is the point.
Source?
My use of the term operating system, narrows it down to the part of the system that talks to the hardware and allocates resources for the other programs in userspace. One confusion might lie in the term operating system. You obviously use it to include userland tools, where as I don't. I'm not saying you are wrong and I am right, but I wouldn't know where to clearly draw the line if I included userland tools in the term. Where do you does things stop being the operating system for you?
That being said I don't object to using GNU/Linux for a Linux kernel with a GNU shell. To me it's not a particularly correct term, but I like GNU. How about the GNU system actually started to be active in distributing a system to it's users and call it GNU. Because WTF is GNU? No one knows. It's a vague term about a category of software with no end-product.
Linux is from the Swedish/Finland swedish name Linus (pronounced lee-NUHS but light l, shorter/lighter ee, and not as hard stress on the second syllable)
Linux should be pronounced like that but with an x instead of s.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linus, is in fact, rms/Linus, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, rms plus Linus.
I assume you use the full name "Microsoft Windows" when you're talking about it? Remember, without Microsoft there would be no Windows so please show proper deference.
etc.
Or get bent GNU autists.

Except Microsoft Windows is developed solely by Microsoft. If Apple developed the majority of the operating system then it went by the name Microsoft Windows it would be a travesty.
GNU: an operating system
GNU/Linux: still an operating system
Linux: a kernel, not an operating system
Caramel: a candy
Salted Caramel: still a candy
Salt: not a candy
Linux is great.
