Ok, going for full controversy here. zsh = “zoosh” ssh = “shoosh” sudo = sue-dough
Before you achktually me, I know it’s supposed to be “sue-DO”, because the acronym stands for “superuser do”, but for the life of me, when I see those letters together it just seems wrong to pronounce it that way.

Ok, thanks for the info GayHitler420 🫡
Just out of curiosity, are there 419 other gay Hitlers out there, or is that just a weed reference? 'Cause I don’t know if I could deal with that many gay Hitlers running around.
I mean, just to be clear, it’s the Hitler part and not the gay part that bothers me. And the weed part is cool with me too, but it would be hard to be a Hitler if you’re just chillin on weed every day.
It would be extremely difficult to conquer the Sudetenland if you had the munchies constantly.

Good for you, GayHitler, good for you

Zee shell, soo-doo, S-S-H.
For me, zsh is pronounced “bash.”
(One-upping your “full controversy,” LOL)
Haha I was waiting for this one!
For ZSH and SSH I just speak the letters: Z-S-H, S-S-H. Sudo as
“SUE-do”“SUE-doo”.One I wonder about is xrandr. I say “EKS-rand-ur”, have heard others say “eks-R-and-R”.
edit: for sudo long vowel. Also I tend to stress the H in ZSH and SSH.
I have also always said eks-rand-ur. Not heard eks-R-and-R
Even though it’s only one extra syllable, “eks-R-and-R” just sounds awkward. I definitely go with “EKS-rand-ur”
Lol now fire ze missiles
I say “zeesh”. Like “sheesh” with a z.
Zed-shell, soo-dough, s-s-h
Zed-shell
Why not Zee-shell? Zed’s dead.
It’s “zed” because Brits know that it came from “zeta,” which has no “d” in it. That’s also why they don’t say “ay bee see dee eee eff jee”, they say “al bed cam del epp dye gam.”
Zally zold zee-zhell by the zea-zhore
Zee sells Zee-shells down by Zee-shore?
Zee shell ist die beste.
Is that how you pronounce it? I always say Zed-S-H
Less of a tongue twister
Its fun to talk about SQL pronunciation as well.
I am a fan of “ess Quaal”
Haha sounds like some kind of exotic spanish fashion brand. “Who am I wearing? Oh, it’s es Quaal.”
Thanks to The Primeagen, I’ve recently become fond of pronouncing it /skwiːl/
Y’know: Squeal, Squeal-lite, Pee-squeal, etc.
I thought it was just “sequel”? Like that was the official pronunciation? Or is there not an accepted “official” pronunciation?
I think it is, or at least thats what I call it in my regular day to day. But calling it es Qual is fun
I’m relative sure SQL is a backronym for Sequel, and Microsoft had to change the name and wanted to keep the pronunciation. But ess Quall is my favorite so far, that’s amazing
The original name SEQUEL, which is widely regarded as a pun on QUEL, the query language of Ingres,[14] was later changed to SQL (dropping the vowels) because “SEQUEL” was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.[15] The label SQL later became the acronym for Structured Query Language.
I think you’re right about the SEQUEL to SQL backformation but why would Microsoft enter into it at all?
The naming and origin of SQL happened back in the 70s, long before Microsoft did its work on porting Sybase to OS/2 in the late 80s.
Cuz I’m an idiot and hadn’t yet had coffee :)
zee-shell or zed-shell, depending on dialect
Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”
I say etsy because I think I heard some Linux YouTubers call it that back in the day and it just stuck
I guess I’m in the minority here calling it “et cetera”
Sudo - Su-dough
SSH - Es-es-eych (ch like change)
Zsh - Zesh
- Jif
