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 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!
