    I have to laugh.  Only in this group (or a comp.unix.*) would this
discussion digress from building a list of UNIX abbreviations to a
heated debate over which term properly describes whatever it is we are
talking about.

    Relax, everyone.  What if someone pronounces "su" as "soo", "vi" and
"vye" ?  Personally, I pronounce say "remove" when I am referring to
"rm" and "copy" when I refer to "cp".

    Time to go back to work on "ooh en eye ex" :-)
