    I usually abbreviate these “in German” in my head. Esp. handy if there’s a freaking double-U in it, which is just one syllable in German. Exception: /etc = Etsy

      I’m still not over the fact that /etc isn’t for et cetera

      EDIT: turns out that it is, and that there’s a lot of dumbasses on the internet “teaching”

      You might be right.
      I am German and never had a problem with pwd… The “double-you” certainly breaks some easy phonetic connections you would otherwise just make…
