@c0debabe my dad has spent maybe twenty-five years trying to convince me to say "sue doo" and I can't. I look at it and it says "sue dough"

[andrew_shadura@mastodon.social]

@c0debabe, both?!

@c0debabe
I seem to remember it being explained to me as "su-dough" as a homonym of "pseudo," as it was not "real" root but a temporary granting of privileges.
However you like to say it. It's fine.
But I will die for the hard "G" in ".GIF."

@c0debabe I know sue do is technically correct, but it’s still sue dough in my brain.
