Document how cuDF is pronounced (#14753)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Document in `README.md` and sphinx landing pages how cuDF is pronounced.

It is known people may pronounce cuDF in ways that aren't how it was conceived, such as "see-you-dee-ef". The correct way to pronounce is not documented anywhere so people who have never heard it from someone knowledgeable aren't able to know for sure, and thus this should be clearly documented.

aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data. cuDF also provides a
pandas-like API that will be familiar to data engineers & data scientists, so
they can use it to easily accelerate their workflows without going into
the details of CUDA programming.
