@chillicampari Could you please do the same poll for “sudo”? Do people pronounce it like “pseudo” or like “Sue do”?

@benjamingeer that's a really good one! You should make it (and the poll and linux hashtags are good with that) and I'll boost it.
(edit- whoops, that was the "poll" hashtag that I meant, not "poo" hashtag. I don't know what you would get back with that)

@chillicampari Done! I was tempted for a moment to try the poo hashtag. 😄

@Zenie thank you! Yes, it is different in French and I wish I had remembered that when making the poll.
When I say "Libre software" I think I always pronounce it "leeb".@chillicampari
Yea. It's not just french either. Lots of languages have an I that sounds like ee.I think most people understood you. But it did certainly make me think about it.

@mjj:
@chillicampari never believes me. The plural of moose should be meese, like goose and geese. But she opposes. Violently. Loudly. Says ugly things like "Markus."
@mfeilner I've been saying this for decades. At least now there are two of us!

@chillicampari it makes no sense even though I knew it was short for libraries

@chillicampari @mfeilner @mjj we can make it a thing though.

I pronounce it like "library" (US pronounciation, long "i"). That is how we pronounced it at the workplace I was at when I first started programming (mid-90's, California) and it stuck.
I use lib a in liberty because I'm not a native English speaker and in my language lib only has one pronunciation 8-D

@mfeilner do you say "graphics" like "jraphics"? :p
@chillicampari @mfeilner little known fact, GIF is pronounced with a soft G because it was intended to be a Giraffe Image Format to share photos of giraffes, before it was discovered to be generally useful for Graphics Interchange.

@loeven pensa che la cosa più impressionante è che le cose che vengono pubblicate nel Fediverso non invecchiano per niente. Infatti il tuo messaggio è ancora attuale, visto che sono ancora le 7!

How would you have done it?
