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.
Ah but do you say it “Sue Doo” or “Sue dough”?
But I’m Finnish
Wait… Linus?
- “zish” so it doesn’t sound like “sheesh”
- ess ess aych
- sue-dough
zsh: “Z shell”
ssh: S-S-H
sudo: I always think of it as “pseudo”Zsh: Ts-sch
Ssh: Ss-sch
sudo: Es Yu De Oh
???
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 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.
Like gif
lol. Well played.
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.
Anyone else get ptsd flashbacks to:
- “aitch tee tee pee
esscolon backslash backslash…” or - “the email address is all lowercase, all one word…”
- “aitch tee tee pee
Zee shells See shells
by the awk soo-doo
for the sed reg-seks.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!
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.
I’m Aussie so I feel like the proper way to say zsh is as you described, but it just feels cumbersome, so I say “zoosh”
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”
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
zsh: ĵ
ssh: “ssh bby is ok”
sudo: like sumo wrestling😂 10/10 for style
Es-es-eych
Zed-es-eych
sue-dough
slash-et-see
user-bin-env
I just pronounce them as I should do in my native language.
ZSH: zé-es-há /zeːɛʃhaː/
SSH: es-es-há /ɛʃɛʃhaː/
sudo: sudó /ʃudoː/ (with ʃ(sh) and long o at the end - this is a rule in my language, every o at the end of a word must be long, with two exceptions)
I say them like this (in my head) even if I read english text.
Spanish or Portugese? Catalan?
Nah, the continent is OK, but a bit more to the east
There is entirely too much dough in this thread (/j).
I pronounce it staccato:
s’ú . d’óI 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
ZzzzzZZzzsh
Sue-do
Ass-ass-hate
I always read it as zed ess heych
i always call it zee, but only for zsh. It’s zed for any other purpose
