Do y'all ponounce it as one word? Heard someone once say "c-h-own" and I was confused.
c and h in my own language (hungarian) and own in english
sounds something like
pots-café-h-father-own (random words to illustrate the way the letters are pronounced)
that's surprisingly similarly to the german pronunciation of ch.
As far as I know most of our letters are the same.
I say it like "pwn". As in, if I'm sitting here chown-ing your shit, you're pretty much pwned.
I'm in the "c-h-own" team.
I deconstruct all commands when used in spoken word, so I pronounce it “change ownership”. I also call ls, “list“ and cd “change directory”. For some reason this completely confuses and disorients everyone in the room.
Do you then read 'dd' as 'disk destoyer' to send chills down people's spines?
Gotta be verbs — Destroy Data.
I do, I tend to pronounce it rhyming with "clown"
So an /oun/ instead of an /ōn/? I hate it! :-D
Yeah the instant I wrote it I knew I'd get some comments lol. I know it's "ch" + "own" but somewhere along the way my brain started pronouncing it rhyming with "clown" rather than "own" lol :p
Like "see-age-own"? I'd pronounce it "ch-(like in change)-own".
Yeah. Then I think we are doing the same thing.
I do, but that’s mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke
Chown, rhymes with bone.
I do, but regarding pronunciations it's S-A-T-A not Saytuh and I'll die on that hill.
yes, you will. although i tend to use the german pronunciation, "Sahtah".
That'd be "Zahtah"
I must have heard "saata" somewhere because that's my head-pronunciation, and it doesn't match how I say data (dayta). Not sure I've ever said it out loud.
Could be an "avoiding saying anything like 'Satan'" kind of thing, not because of religion, but more to avoid lame jokes.
well "saata" is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, "saatana". Was it Linus you've heard?
Ha. No, I don't think it was Linus, but it might have been someone else European. Really hard to be sure at this point. SATA has been around for a while.
And I've unearthed a memory of the other, other pronunciation that I know I've heard: "serial ay-tee-ay". Why make it an acronym when you can say one of the words and then the initials of the others!
Ah yes I also call it “Sahtah”. Australian
I pronounce it in swedish so that its just Satan without the -n.
Ooh, can we start the SCSI thing again?
Scuzzy! :D
Those are both wrong. It’s Sat-uh.
change own'uh
But chroot is schrude!
I just realized I have never said this word out loud, but in my mind it sounds like "shown"
