Pronunciations (was: And how do you pronounce "csh"?)

[Mike Lyons]

[ I'm already wearing my flame-retardant suit for this one... :-) ]

As you can see from my header, I work here in Germany.  I'm always debating
with my colleagues over what the "correct" pronunciation for various UNIX
things are. Here's a short list of the way some things are said here, and I'd
like some feedback (e-mail of course!! :-) on what the One True Pronunciation 
for each item is:

		sed = ess - e - dee
		ed  = e - dee
		awk = a - w - k
		ioctl = i - o control
		fcntl = f - control
		strrchr = stir - recker
		tty  =  t - t - y
		uucico = you - you - kee - ko
		HUPCL = hoop - sell
		mkdir = m - k - dir
		mknod = m - k - node
		pg  = p - g
		
this is not supposed to be representative of the German UNIX community, but
rather what I hear around here.

Peace,
  Mike
