      I deconstruct all commands when used in spoken word, so I pronounce it “change ownership”. I also call ls, “list“ and cd “change directory”. For some reason this completely confuses and disorients everyone in the room.

          Yeah the instant I wrote it I knew I’d get some comments lol. I know it’s “ch” + “own” but somewhere along the way my brain started pronouncing it rhyming with “clown” rather than “own” lol :p

      c and h in my own language (hungarian) and own in english

      sounds something like

      pots-café-h-father-own (random words to illustrate the way the letters are pronounced)

          I must have heard “saata” somewhere because that’s my head-pronunciation, and it doesn’t match how I say data (dayta). Not sure I’ve ever said it out loud.

          Could be an “avoiding saying anything like ‘Satan’” kind of thing, not because of religion, but more to avoid lame jokes.

            well “saata” is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, “saatana”. Was it Linus you’ve heard?

              Ha. No, I don’t think it was Linus, but it might have been someone else European. Really hard to be sure at this point. SATA has been around for a while.

              And I’ve unearthed a memory of the other, other pronunciation that I know I’ve heard: “serial ay-tee-ay”. Why make it an acronym when you can say one of the words and then the initials of the others!

      I say it like “pwn”. As in, if I’m sitting here chown-ing your shit, you’re pretty much pwned.

      I do, but that’s mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke

      Chown, rhymes with bone.

          oh… it’s a game where every day there’s a 5 letter word you have to guess.

          you start with a random word and it shows you if the letters are in its corect place (green), wrong place (yellow) or they don’t occur at all (gray).

          then you keep on guessing until you find the word or reach the limit.
