How do you pronounce zsh? Sudo? Ssh?

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.

That said, I have no problems changing my pronunciations if I find the creators or whatever said, “Actually, it’s pronounced <like this>.”

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

Command Phonetic
zsh zee shell or zed-ess-aitch
ssh ess-ess-aitch
sudo soo-doo
awk awk
sed sed
regex reg-eks

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

Zee shell, or zish or just each letter ze es aych depends on my mood and if I’m feeling spicy.

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.

Zeesh. Rhymes with sheesh!

I say “zeesh”. Like “sheesh” with a z.

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.

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

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.”)

aStonedSanta ,

Yeah. I totally thought this too. That’s why I was stubborn about it. 🙄.

On a more serious note. I love this lol.
