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.
Jif.
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?
filthy american
Zee shell ist die beste.
Is that how you pronounce it? I always say Zed-S-H
Less of a tongue twister
For ZSH and SSH I just speak the letters: Z-S-H, S-S-H. Sudo as “SUE-do”.
One I wonder about is xrandr. I say “EKS-rand-ur”, have heard others say “eks-R-and-R”.
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”
Its fun to talk about SQL pronunciation as well.
I am a fan of “ess Quaal”
I thought it was just “sequel”? Like that was the official pronunciation? Or is there not an accepted “official” pronunciation?
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 :)
Thanks to The Primeagen, I’ve recently become fond of pronouncing it /skwiːl/
Y’know: Squeal, Squeal-lite, Pee-squeal, etc.
Well, achktually SUDO stands for “substitute-user do.” The default action just happens to be the super user, but you can substitute any user.
TIL
I’ve never used Linux with more than one user (me) so the thought never crossed my mind

zsh: ĵ
ssh: “ssh bby is ok”
sudo: like sumo wrestling😂 10/10 for style
Zee shell, sue dough, s s h
“Zee shell”
“Sue doo”
“Ess ess aitch”
There is entirely too much dough in this thread (/j).
I pronounce it staccato:
s’ú . d’óI never read it out loud, but in my mind it’s always “zeesh”
sudo is just pseudo and ssh is just the 3 letters
Zeesh sounds like something Amy from Futurama would say
ZzzzzZZzzsh
Sue-do
Ass-ass-hate
I always read it as zed ess heych
i always call it zee, but only for zsh. It’s zed for any other purpose
zsh: “Z shell”
ssh: S-S-H
sudo: I always think of it as “pseudo”Zsh - za-sh (like bash)
Ssh - s-s-h
Sudo - sue-do
Awk - aw-k (like the hawk but no h)
Cat - c-a-t
Chmod - ch-mod (ch like change and mod like model)
Mkdir - m-k-dir
Vim - vim
Vi - v-i
Journald - journald (like journal and the d like Harold)
Sed - sed
Man - maan
