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!
