Mind you - we normally type these commands, or read them. Very rarely do we say them out loud.

Others in the same region:
fsck  fissik/eff ess check/eff sik
gcc    gee sea sea / ?
ssh    ess ess aitch / shhh / shoosh
wget    doubleyou get / wuh-get
strace    ess-strace / strace / street race
The one that got me the first time I heard someone say it, and still does, is the folder /etc. I had always imagined it pronounced as eee tea see, and is how it still is in my head. Hearing it as "etcetera" is just wrong, to my ear!

Cheers,
