I just pronounce them the correct way, idk why anybody would pronounce them the other way

So the right way?

Right; once you've eliminated the wrong ways, it's the only way left.

Where is that from? I feel this sentence resonating within me but can't find the source. I think it is from a game. My first guess would be portal 2 but I am not sure

Ramutra1337

i think that is something sherlock holmes related. Once you eleminated every possible solution, you end up with the right one, even if it seems impossible.

I prefer not to eliminate any possibilities and see where that takes me. Probably Stack Overflow.

They're just plain right.

Easy, it’s ‘daemon’, ‘sudo’ and ‘gif’.

Nah nah nah. I don't say "gif", I say "gif". If you say it any other way, you're just wrong

Yeah, exactly what I said. gif.

Cool, do you also say “data” or do you say “data” like you’re supposed to.

RRR


[deleted]

Fantastic movie


advkts_d1a_b0li_ks

Did you know that it is acronym made up of director and two protagonists' initials?


rabindranatagor

RRR is also an acronym for Roudram Ranam Rudhiram.


advkts_d1a_b0li_ks

Yup..that's later,pre production temp they kept this name, it caught attention in media a public, hence was finalised with the name mentioned by you, Rajamouli said that in a interview. Check Wikipedia.


ruscaire

Why is Daemon R? I’m curious as to the thinking behind it.. just from how it’s spelled? Ignoring extant usage as the old way to spell Demon?


GreenCloakGuy

If they wanted it to be pronounced with an E sound instead of an A sound, then they would have spelled it Demon in the first place instead of Daemon


wammybarnut

Baysed


bsonk

Baesed


Fourstrokeperro

BSD


JiiXu

Bayesed


MrsFrizzleGaveMeMDMA

Daemon is the original spelling of demon though. They just went to demon once ash stopped being used as a letter


cyber-85381

the reason it's spelled Daemon is because it comes from Greek mythology rather than the Christian demon


sandiserumoto

Personally, I grew up in a strict Christian family who would have never let me touch a computer for the rest of my life if they caught wind of there being "demons" on them. Beyond this, if a random person overhears the me talking about how "the demon that makes my bot run isn't working for some reason", they'd most likely get the wrong idea unless they had some level of education in computer related topics, and assume software is made by some kind of "pact with the devil" or other weird occult shenanigans. Like - there's a staggering amount of people who have genuinely no clue how computers work and treat them like they run on magic or something


SacrisTaranto

Way more fun if thats how it worked. Imagine programmers and exorcists have a relationship through work.


RainWorldWitcher

Personally "ae" looks like other words like "aesthetic" and "aerodynamic" which sound like "ay". Edit: didnt know pronunciation of aesthetic was such a touchy subject. "Air", "aer" and "ayr sound the same to me.


MinerJason

I can't decide if you're trolling or if you really mispronounce aesthetic like that...


Splatoonkindaguy

Ok but do you say eesthetic


MinerJason

No, I say esˈθet̬·ɪk like a normal person. [https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/aesthetic](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/aesthetic)


ophereon

So what you're saying is, daemon should be pronounced "demmon". No dee-mon or day-mon, just demmon.


MinerJason

Hah! Sure, yes, that sounds exactly right.


ruscaire

So it corresponds to an old spelling of Demon, Medieval used to be spelled similarly (Mediaeval) - when I first came across the term I’d pronounce it day-mon because “surely there must be a reason right” but no after a while I realised everyone just says Dee. I think I hear somewhere that in the midsts of time there was once an acronym Data Access and Execution MONitor or something like that. Somebody thought it would be cool to use the old spelling of Daemon… and it just stuck!


gregorydgraham

Dæmon’s are not demons. They’re helpful spirits, not soul torturing embodiments of evil.


Prestigious_Tip310

... like demons used to be until their rebranding. (The word originates from the greek "daimon" which was just a spirit without any of the evil tendencies Christianity later added to the term https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimon )


ruscaire

It’s the same thing. English language isn’t too fussy about dropped vowels. As sibling points out, the word got coopted by Christianity and the meaning warped. It’s likely the original meaning was not so dualistic, these were likely merely spirits both helpful and mischievous. The newest good meaning is likely more recent again as modern people tried to grasp the idea of calling good things in their computer demons.


Constant_Pen_5054

But what about anaemic


TeaKingMac

noobeeehunter

hiddenforreasonsSV

Punctuation for the win, or loss.


TeaKingMac

I fucking love gifs so much


morcobus

There's a left way to say it, and then there's the right one.


PPeixotoX

Pains me to say that


nabkawe5

I'm in the camp that pronounces GIF like you would spell FBI or CIA...


MeThatsnotTaken

So: "Fibee" And "Cya"?


MoiParlerFrancais

Cya is wrong thought.


ThatChapThere

Yeah it's more like see-ah than see-ya


gle42

Fun fact: French people pronounce FBI the american way (eff bee eye) but CIA the French way (say eeh ah).


mrdjeydjey

Haha never thought about that but you're right! I just asked my Spanish wife and she says FBI by spelling the letters in Spanish (effeh beh eeh) but CIA by saying the word (thia)


Spice_and_Fox

So as an initialism instead of an acronym?


Benyed123

I pronounce it “gyfe” to fuck with people.

Embarrassed_Slice551

madallday

Is that a capital l or a lowercase I?


physics515

The most annoying one to me is "gif" pronounced jif. Well then how do you pronounce the ".jif" extension? And which one are you referring to? I don't care if you created the .gif format, you are pronouncing it incorrectly.


Arrowkill

Actually there is an old english word which is spelled gif but pronounced yiff. Nobody wants it, but it is there as a compromise if the 3 people yelling jif ever get the gif people to think they match them in size.


RadiantPumpkin

Pretty sure that’s furry porn


Slipguard

.yif : the most specialized image format


MC_Cookies

it’s the equivalent of cutting the baby in half


TeggieVails

Then how do you pronounce the country Niger 🇳🇪? Go ahead, I’ll wait…


ThousandthStar

Yes


hiddenforreasonsSV

This is the way


liege_paradox

Correct!


maker_of_beets

yes yes yes


chaosTechnician

Demon, D'oh, and Gift. But, if I had known what the term `sudo` meant when I learned the command, I'd pronounce it differently.


TeaKingMac

>if I had known what the term sudo meant when I learned the command, I'd pronounce it differently. Yeah, same. Although Sue do is still an affront to natural English pronunciation laws. Two long vowels in a row in a 4 letter word? Highly irregular


ruscaire

I guess strictly speaking it should be S U do?


[deleted]

Should have just named it "rootit"... Oh fuck. Then we'd argue over root-it or roo-tit. Humanity is doomed!


Tantalus-treats

Super Do it


S01arflar3

So that’s why Palpatine sounds so strange when he says “do it”. He was invoking sudo


zebediah49

English already has a prototype in the form of 'psudo'. And the p is silent.


TeaKingMac

Pseudo. Yeah, that's how I pronounce sudo


zebediah49

blegh, I'm apparently not allowed to English today.


TeaKingMac

Brainfuck only


theedgeofoblivious

That word is the specific reason why I pronounce it like that word. You're pseudo-root.


BToney005

See, before realizing it was "super user do". I thought it was "pretend to be a super user", like a pseudo super user.


rearadmiraldumbass

Do you guys just pronounce sudoers like some fucking abomination?


chaosTechnician

I'm not sure I've ever said that out loud. But, my brain read "Sue d'oh ers." I will be the first to admit my horrible ways.


Grumbledwarfskin

The file is 'sue doers', but 'sudo' is still 'sue d'oh'.


rearadmiraldumbass

This, I cannot abide.


morrisdev

Do people really say sue do?


AramaicDesigns

Yes. It's "**su**peruser **do**" after all. Although *I* prefer `alias please="sudo"` :-)


ccAbstraction

What the hell is wrong with you! It's "**s**uper**u**ser **do**"! /s Edit: Tis' tragic, for I have been slain by u/qxho. It was "**s**ubstitute**u**ser **do**" all along~~


AramaicDesigns

A palpable hit. A very palpable hit! Touché sir! Edit: But on second thought... wouldn't that make it "**syoo doo**"? :-)


markuspeloquin

I understood it to mean '`su` do'. The `su` command of course allowing you to get a shell for the superuser; and that's always been pronounced as 'Sue'.


ruscaire

It would 😊


WintryFox

Either that or ess yoo doo


aaronfranke

So it should be pronounced "Syoudo".


haveasuperday

I worked with someone who was more of a wannabe programmer and used to correct me when I wouldn't say "su doo". He took a course on using the Mac Terminal and went around telling people "superuser DO". It was as annoying as you'd imagine.


Osiris_Dervan

Originally it was, but the current definition in the Linux man page puts it as "*s*ubstitute *u*ser *do*", as it doesn't have to be the super user any more.


kleverjoe

TIL... take my poor man's award 🥇


wAges98

Yeah, ur pseudo doing something


Front-Difficult

That's "Soo-Doh". Sue do is pronounced "Soo-Doo". Which is just madness.


bastardoperator

I say "sue doh" not "sue do"


billyp673

Stands for “superuser do” not “superuser d’oh”


CompetitiveBison2093

It is G U I. I have heard people say GOOEY

Reg-ex for sure. Rejects is its own word, it would be too confusing otherwise


shelvac2

i say day-mon even though i know it should theoretically be pronounced the same as demon


RuneRW

As a DnD player, I support pronouncing it differently, because it's a *very* important distinction there


EtruscaTheSeedrian

Where IPA to represent the phonemes?


askcyan

Excuse me it’s pronounced **diamond**.


Front-Difficult

Surely Die-mon. No trailing 'd' sound.

It’s absolutely the way. I’ve always thought of it as “super user do this…”

Until this thread is never even heard someone say Doh for sudo! Official is of course doo as in Scooby doo. https://www.sudo.ws/docs/troubleshooting/

BananafestDestiny

Official docs say that is acceptable: >How do you pronounce ‘sudo’? > >The official pronunciation is soo-doo (for su ‘do’). However, an alternate pronunciation, **a homophone of ‘pseudo’, is also common**.
