How do you pronounce zsh? Sudo? Ssh? (lemmy.world)

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.

Well, achktually SUDO stands for "substitute-user do." The default action just happens to be the super user, but you can substitute any user.

I've never used Linux with more than one user (me) so the thought never crossed my mind
