You're welcome.

At least you got the grammar right. :)

There was no point to "miss" in the first place, though.

"GN(U)own" doesn't work either.

The OP should've read, "If I only GNU."

Arguably not the "*The* Coolest Saying," but that would've at least been coherent, and perhaps would have appeared somewhat clever to those who are interested in the topic.

If only more people GNU just how smart I really am.

It's questionable whether one should coin a not-so-clever pun on a phrase that starts out as miserably as, "If only I would have known."

In English, we say or write, "If only I had known," or "If I had only known."

For example: "If only I had known it was raining, I'd have brought my umbrella."

Not: "If only I would have known I was illiterate, I could of paid attention in school."

You watched a TV show called Gary Gnu and are telling me to get a life? That's the funniest post so far.

I wonder if you meant "No Gnews Is Good Gnews?" That makes more sense than No gunews. I think that show is on OLN.
