    I used to pronounce it like yuzr, knowing that it wasn’t user, but not knowing what it was.
    Now I have better context. Maybe I’ll go with U.S.R.

      If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…

        Well, considering that I am with coworkers who don’t remember when to and not to put the ‘/’ at the start of the file path (despite me explaining it to them multiple times), “slash e t c” is probably the better way.
