There are three types of people in this world:

1. "objdump"
2. "object dump"
3. "oh bee jay dump"

I tend to try and pronounce filenames/commands as I see them on-screen. If it's too short, becomes too difficult or would sound like another word (SQL/sequel, I'm looking at you) I will spell the letters out.

So for example, "objdump" I would say something like "ob-juh-dump".

fsck = "Fuhs-hook"

mkdir = "Mook durr"

ls = "ell ess"

For filesystem paths, things like /dev/stdout would become "slash dev slash stood out".

Sometimes I don't bother with the slashes. /etc/passwd might be "ee tee see pass wood".

@nightowl I hate you

@donnico
@nightowl

objdump = object dump

fsck = fisk
mkdir = make directory
ls = el ess

I hate him too

@nightowl
"Fish cook"
"McDurr"
"Luhs"
"Etseepisswood"

Additionally,

gdb = "guh duh buh"
ps aux = "piss ox"
gcc = "GECK"
