Common pronunciations of Linux directories, commands, etc. (2017)

initramfs: init ram F S
chroot: as in chown and chmod above, not like an open-ended cigar (cheroot, which sounds like sh)

I used to have in my signature in another Forum - "Linux is pronounced Lin-nix" - only because I saw and heard the great man himself (Linus Torvalds, pron. Leen-us Tor-folds) pronounce it in the intro to a training video ... and I figured he would know, lol.
