It's funny how many people cite "g" being "graphical" in why gif MUST be a hard g, but then go on and pronounce "vi" rhymes with "eye" or "sudo" like "pseudo."

("vi" is short for "visual" and "sudo" is short for "superuser do")

@fluffy There's another timeline where they called jpeg the "JPEG image format" or "jif".

@fluffy I always thought 'sudo' was for 'Switch User and DO', since it lets you act as any other user (that you're authorized for)...

@dhasenan it’s either “super user” or “set user.” “su” is “set user” but sudo does things a bit differently.

@dhasenan anyway it’s the “do” part that people chronically mispronounce.
