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.

I've always pronounced sudo the same way that the sudo part of sudowoodo is pronounced. I actually used to think it was an obscure Pokemon reference when I first started using Linux but both Linux and sudo itself Predate Pokemon.

There is entirely too much dough in this thread (/j).

I pronounce it staccato:
s'ΓΊ . d'Γ³

I say zsh, s s h, and sudo. But I'm Finnish and we're literal folk language wise.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Ah but do you say it "Sue Doo" or "Sue dough"?

But I'm Finnish

Wait... Linus?

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

No. If they want to call it sue doo or sue dough, they should have written that. :)

I also pronounce Linus Linus.

Zee shell, soo-doo, S-S-H.

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I just pronounce them as I should do in my native language.

ZSH: zΓ©-es-hΓ‘ /zeːɛʃhaː/

SSH: es-es-hΓ‘ /Ι›ΚƒΙ›Κƒhaː/

sudo: sudΓ³ /Κƒudoː/ (with Κƒ(sh) and long o at the end - this is a rule in my language, every o at the end of a word must be long, with two exceptions)

I say them like this (in my head) even if I read english text.
