I just miss you - it seems to me life took a serious downturn since you asked me to go back..

New avatar... again... this one isn't as sexy (however it's probably a good thing)

Linux: Len-ucks, Len-icks, Line-icks

lyn-nicks

SQL: S. Q. L., Sea-quill

SQL but i've heard sequel

GNU: Guh-new, G.N.U.

guh-new, i used to say G.N.U but i like the sound of guh-new more

OSI: O.S.I., osy

i never say it but i read it in my head as OSI

fsck: fff sss kkk, fisk, fuck

fisk, even when i'm mad at my computer i'd pronounce it fisk... though i prolly wouldn't be saying fisk.

init: in it, eyenit
in-it

GNOME: Guh-nome, knowm
gee-nome, who say knowm? that sounds like kde. K-nowm.

KDE: K.D.E. Kadie

kde but if you say it fast it sounds like kadie.


as for varchar i say var-char. i've heard char being called care. because character's char is a care not char but i still say char. it sounds better.

procmail just proc-mail...


my girlfriends mobo just kinda died (ata control and floppy controller no longer work) and the only way i could get it working at all was a pci ata controller, which i couldn't install to because i can't boot off cdrom from it and floppy won't work cause the controller is dead. and windows refuses to move from one computer to another if it is on a pci ata controller. so long story short she is running linux now. and she was talking on AIM to a friend and said that i set it up with a "gooey" and he laughed at her for spelling it that way. she also found SCSI funny.


oh okay /etc what do you guys say?
i always say slash etik and people sometimes think i say /x
or ls -l. i say negative l but some people say like dash l or whatever.

[BurntAsh]

i say /etc as "etcetera" because etc is the abbreviation for etcetera :P

I would say dash l, but many times, im telling people who have no idea what to put, so i have to say space dash l :

I never knew MySQL was pronounced "Me"-SQL.
