For me, btrfs will always be "butter FS", not "better fs" (but wikipedia says that's valid).

Anyhow, always interesting to compare how people spell these abbreviations/acronyms in their head. I have some specifically German ones - www because it's much shorter to think than "doubleUdoubleUdoubleU", and most of the hierarchy of directories.

For some unknown reason i kept saying f-shtab instead of f-s-tab.

I always think f-stab

f-shtab

edit: wait, you mean in german spelling? As in Stab? That's even funnier.
