Not necessarily how it's "supposed" to be pronounced, what do you say? (in your head or aloud)
How do you pronounce sudo?

Phil Collins taught us long ago...
Sue Doe sounds like a lovely lady.
Sister of Jon though.
That Sue Doe
You are right. Would like to meet her some day. Somehow I think, I would do everything she tells me to do.
I normally pronounce it "sudoh".
But as I was reading this poll, somehow in my mind I pronounced it funny in a Japanese way like "suuuuzdooo" (imagine a Japanese anime voice) 🤣
Kids have Play-Doh.
Adults have Su-Doh.
Like the amaracan colour to color, in programming we all need to stick to conventions regardless of correctness. Besides soo-doo is almost a pokomon woo-doo
obligatory xkcd
soo-DO IT MOTHER TRUCKER.
Su-doo-doo 💩
I use soo-doo because it is the compilation of the phonetics from the command's unabbreviated form:
superuser do
Non-native speaker here, asking just out of curiosity: if phonetic (assuming English) why isn’t that syou-doo ?🙈
You're totally right. It should be:
superuser do
I just looked it up and "superuser" is one word. I'll correct my original post.
Also, as a native English speaker, I'm sorry the language is so weird.
Totally that is what we day ”syou-do” because it's superuser do.
No, it's not superuser do. It's from su command "switch user". Also check the man page that says "sudo, sudoedit — execute a command as another user".
superuser-do
It's not superuser actually. It's from su command "switch user". Also check the man page that says "sudo, sudoedit — execute a command as another user". That means not necessary superuser. Root is just a default for the command.
sudo as in s-u-d-o (Spanish pronunciation). It means literally "I sweat".
sudo rm -rf
I sweat as I remove all files from my file system
idem
In italian too 😂
Latin, too.
That's a good one 😂
Came here expecting this, I'm satisfied with the internet once again.
