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.

    Always the former. It’s a short form of regular expression, not rejular expression. But I don’t really judge others for their chosen pronunciation, as long as it’s understandable.

        Anyone else get ptsd flashbacks to:

        • “aitch tee tee pee ess colon backslash backslash…” or
        • “the email address is all lowercase, all one word…”
