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 say zsh, s s h, and sudo. But I'm Finnish and we're literal folk language wise.

Ah but do you say it "Sue Doo" or "Sue dough"?

But I'm Finnish

Wait... Linus?

No. If they want to call it sue doo or sue dough, they should have written that. :)

I also pronounce Linus Linus.
