- BossingAround 6y agoFWIW, it's very common in my company. That said, I think if you came to interview with me and you'd say "e t c," that'd be totally fine. If you said "et cetera," I'd be confused for a bit, but personally, I wouldn't care. Same with curl. Is it "curl" or "c URL"? Who cares...
- glitchcrab 6y ago100% agree (also British). Been working with Kubernetes full time for 2 years now and I still hate 'etsyd'
- colordrops 6y agoI've heard multiple pronunciations of "kubernetes" Koo-burr-net-ease koo-burr-neet-ease Cube-burr-neet-ease
- OJFord 6y agoI've probably never had to say it aloud, and haven't come across that before, internally I've read 'et cetera d' for sure. That said, 'etsy-dee' is somehow better to me than 'etsy', since it's like 'et C.D.' which makes some sort of sense. (You could of course make the same argument for 'etsy', it's just that nobody reads 'etc.' as 'et see', it's always 'et cetera'.)
- kelnos 6y agoProbably an Americanism? I'm American and I've been calling it 'etsy' since the late 90s. I hear 'E T C' and 'et cetera' on occasion, but the speaker is usually someone new to unix.

- politelemon 6y agoUK also. I've always heard it called "etch" or "etcetera" but never etsy.
