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.

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.
