FS TAB - 3 syllables

F STAB - 2 syllables

The choice is clear.

FSTAB (silent F) - 1 syllable

Yes FS TAB.

Since when has Linux been about taking the easy way out?

I mean, it's literally shorthand already for filesystem table innit?

We geeks do not care about syllables! We are the ones who "shortened" the 3 syllable "World Wide Web" to the 9 syllable "www"!

[-] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Still only 3 syllables in German 🤷

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

"Dub dub dub" is 3 syllables

By this logic we should just fuse the f and s for a monosyllabic word.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
