Sometime in May Eugene assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| So, how do *you* pronounce "sudo"?
| 
| I know some people who say it like the separate words "su" and "do":
| "ess you" for the Unix command, and "do" for the English word.

I pronounce "sudo" with two syllables:

1 sue (like the english word for bringing legal action againts someone) 
2 do (like the english word)

This is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
