Zed-shell, soo-dough, s-s-h

When I first saw sudo I assumed it was pronounced "pseudo" because it lets you fake like you're doing stuff as another user. So that has stuck for me. (And despite all evidence, I still low-key believe it's a clever pun encompassing both that and the official "superuser do.")

For me, zsh is pronounced "bash."

(One-upping your "full controversy," LOL)

For ZSH and SSH I just speak the letters: Z-S-H, S-S-H. Sudo as ~~"SUE-do"~~ "SUE-doo".

One I wonder about is xrandr. I say "EKS-rand-ur", have heard others say "eks-R-and-R".

edit: for sudo long vowel. Also I tend to stress the H in ZSH and SSH.

zsh: “Z shell”
ssh: S-S-H
sudo: I always think of it as “pseudo”

I enjoy your pronunciation! I've been using Linux primary for nearly 20 years now. Here's my list:

For me (UK):

zsh = zed ess aitch

sudo - exactly the same as "pseudo"

ssh = ess ess aitch

I'm not alone in this, it's only what all of my colleagues say.

Well, achktually SUDO stands for "substitute-user do." The default action just happens to be the super user, but you can substitute any user.

Zed shell.

Pseudo.

Ess ess aitch.

Zee shell
Sue dough
Ess ess aitch

That said, I have no problems changing my pronunciations if I find the creators or whatever said, "Actually, it's pronounced ."

Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”

As a former IT guy, I got used to just saying "secure shell" every time I saw SSH, to help teach my younger IT folks the lingo. I don't even say the acronym anymore. When I did, I just spoke the letters (es-es-aich).

Same for ZSH; I just call it Z-Shell (zee-shell).

Sudo has always been "soo-doh" (or "sue-dough" as OP spelled it; same pronunciation). I've never met anyone who pronounced it differently in my 20 years of IT work.

Zsh: "Zed shell" or "Zee shell" (depends)

SSH: spelt out S-S-H (both in English and in my native language)

sudo: like "sumo wrestler" only with a "d"

Its fun to talk about SQL pronunciation as well.

I am a fan of “ess Quaal”

ZSH = Zee-shell
SSH = S-S-H
SUDO = Sue-dough
KornShell = Aaaarrre you readyyyyyyyyy!

Zee shell, sue dough, s s h

I always read it as zed ess heych

Zee Ess Aitch

Ess Ess Aitch

Psuedo

Sue-doo is weird and unnatural.

I don't pronounce them at all, because that would require friends in the real world

“Zee shell”

“Sue doo”

“Ess ess aitch”

I know it's not consistent but I read them like zsh = zee shell, ssh I spell out "s s h", sudo I say /ˈsuː.doʊ/. or "soo dough"

I never read it out loud, but in my mind it's always "zeesh"

sudo is just pseudo and ssh is just the 3 letters

Zsh: Ts-sch

Ssh: Ss-sch

sudo: Es Yu De Oh

fish: fish

Zush rhymes with kush in my head. But out loud I say the letters because I think zush probably isn't how you're supposed to say it

Soo-dough (dough like the stuff you knead)

Es-es-aych

Oh also, I've found myself pronouncing the normal English word "gnome" as "guh nome" now because that's how the DE is pronounced lol

I use vie in the zeeshell to edit my suedooers file.

Zeesh. Rhymes with sheesh!

Chmod = Chad mod

Sudo - Su-dough SSH - Es-es-eych (ch like change) Zsh - Zesh

I say "zeesh". Like "sheesh" with a z.

Zed-s-h.

s-s-h

Su-doo
