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.

sudo
sʏː.doʔ
short u (though my accent pronounces it a bit differently); then ‘do’ (as in the note) followed by a glottal stop

zsh
ziː.esː.ejtʃ
z-s-h spelled out

ssh
esː.esː.ejtʃ
s-s-h spelled out
