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.
- “zish” so it doesn’t sound like “sheesh”
- ess ess aych
- sue-dough
I say “zeesh”. Like “sheesh” with a z.
Zed shell.
Pseudo.
Ess ess aitch.
Zed-shell, soo-dough, s-s-h
Is that how you pronounce it? I always say Zed-S-H
Less of a tongue twister
Zed-shell
Why not Zee-shell? Zed’s dead.
Zee sells Zee-shells down by Zee-shore?
filthy american
Zee shell ist die beste.
Zally zold zee-zhell by the zea-zhore
It’s “zed” because Brits know that it came from “zeta,” which has no “d” in it. That’s also why they don’t say “ay bee see dee eee eff jee”, they say “al bed cam del epp dye gam.”
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 know that may sound harsh, but experience doesn’t qualify here. You even may have introduced your doctrine to others!!
:)
To provide something to the discussion, here are the common sounds from Germany:
ZETT-ESS-HAH!
SS-HAH!
Su-Doh
'awk (from Hawk) or AHH-WEE-KAAH!!
SETT or even ESS-EH-DEH.
People knowing that it can be named as “superuser do” still say su-Doh. Then on the other hand, dont ask about REH-DU!
Zee shells See shells
by the awk soo-doo
for the sed reg-seks.For you, is it ‘reG-eks’ or ‘reJ-eks’? I know it should absolutely be the former, but my brain tells me to say the latter when I read it.
Always the former. It’s a short form if regular expression, not rejular expression. But I don’t really judge others for their chosen pronunciation, as long as it’s understandable.
'Nam flashback to the Gif/Jif pronouciation wars.
Like gif
lol. Well played.
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.
Jif.
Well, achktually SUDO stands for “substitute-user do.” The default action just happens to be the super user, but you can substitute any user.
TIL
I’ve never used Linux with more than one user (me) so the thought never crossed my mind
ZzzzzZZzzsh
Sue-do
Ass-ass-hate
I always read it as zed ess heych
zsh: ĵ
ssh: “ssh bby is ok”
sudo: like sumo wrestlingZsh: “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”
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
Zeesh sounds like something Amy from Futurama would say
Zsh: Ts-sch
Ssh: Ss-sch
sudo: Es Yu De Oh
???
Es-es-eych
Zed-es-eych
sue-dough
