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.

Zush rhymes with kush in my head. But out loud I say the letters because I think zush probably isn't how you're supposed to say it

Soo-dough (dough like the stuff you knead)

Es-es-aych

Oh also, I've found myself pronouncing the normal English word "gnome" as "guh nome" now because that's how the DE is pronounced lol

I've always pronounced sudo the same way that the sudo part of sudowoodo is pronounced. I actually used to think it was an obscure Pokemon reference when I first started using Linux but both Linux and sudo itself Predate Pokemon.

sudo rhymes with judo

There is entirely too much dough in this thread (/j).

I pronounce it staccato:
s'ΓΊ . d'Γ³
