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.

I say zsh, s s h, and sudo. But I’m Finnish and we’re literal folk language wise.

grue ,

For me, zsh is pronounced “bash.”

(One-upping your “full controversy,” LOL)

Z-shell

Sudo - Su-dough

SSH - Es-es-eych (ch like change)

Zsh - Zesh

Doombot1 ,

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”

I say etsy because I think I heard some Linux YouTubers call it that back in the day and it just stuck

Hawke ,

I guess I’m in the minority here calling it “et cetera”

kionay ,

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”

Its fun to talk about SQL pronunciation as well.

I am a fan of “ess Quaal”

z00s OP ,

Haha sounds like some kind of exotic spanish fashion brand. “Who am I wearing? Oh, it’s es Quaal.”

frank ,

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.

Hawke ,

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 :)

@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

I thought it was just “sequel”? Like that was the official pronunciation? Or is there not an accepted “official” pronunciation?

breadsmasher ,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

I think it is, or at least thats what I call it in my regular day to day. But calling it es Qual is fun

arcayne ,

Thanks to The Primeagen, I’ve recently become fond of pronouncing it /skwiːl/

Y’know: Squeal, Squeal-lite, Pee-squeal, etc.

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.

z00s OP ,

Even though it’s only one extra syllable, “eks-R-and-R” just sounds awkward. I definitely go with “EKS-rand-ur”

communism ,
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

I have also always said eks-rand-ur. Not heard eks-R-and-R
