Is iOS “eye-oh-ess” or “eye-oss”? Is Linux “Lie-nux” or “Lih-nux?” How about sudo: is it really “sue-doo” for “superuser, do!” or has the more popular “sue-doh” population won out? In this article, you’ll find the answers to each of those and several more\u2014along with some perspectives on terms that aren’t so clear-cut.<\/p>\n

Here’s the background: we invited our readers last week<\/a> to share examples of common tech terms that people frequently pronounce incorrectly or of terms about which there is widespread disagreement regarding the correct pronunciation.<\/p>\n

We gave a few examples that came up within the Ars team to get the conversation started and promised a follow-up wherein we’d research the correct pronunciation for each term\u2014including both our examples and reader suggestions\u2014and settle the score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
