Well, Admin, I guess I'd annoy the crap out of you.

I normally say 'chmod' like 'shmod', which is like the beginning of 'shoe.' I say 'etc' like it was the acronym, so its 'etcetera'. I don't have to say chgrp or chown much, so I'm not quite sure how I'd say them. I figure I'd just change it everytime anyway. I say linux with the short 'i' as well.

I guess that's kind of weird that I wouldn't know how I'd say some of the things since I mostly use linux anyway. Even as the admin of a lab I don't have to say it much to people. Hrm...thats weird.
