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 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.
