How do you pronounce zsh? Sudo? Ssh? (self.asklemmy)

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.

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.

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

At work we all pronounce zsh “zish” like dish but with a z.

sudo is sue-doo, not sue-dough or pseudo

SSH is just s-s-h
