Super side question: how do you pronounce QEMU? I've heard it as "kyum" in a video; my personal guess is "kyu-eemu".

- userbinator 3y agoI've heard KEE-moo and KEM-oo.
- lillecarl 3y agoI'm Swedish so I just pronounce stuff I'm unsure about like they're spelled. In this case: "Q-emu". But I also say /etc like "e-t-c" rather than etsy, mysql like "my-s-q-l". I'm not in a hurry, and people will know what I'm saying even if I sound a bit stupid. Benefit of not being a native speaker :)
- serf 3y agosame here as an American. Generally if I see that the word is a portmanteau of some kind , in this case presumably 'emulation' is one part of the portmanteau , I just try to do my best to pronounce that part like the parent word. So in this case i've always said "Q-Emu' in my head. I share your other pronunciations, too. Weird. I never knew what the Q meant, upon searching I see that it's "quick emulator".
- Georgelemental 3y ago"etc" is short for Latin et cetera. So it's arguably no more "native" for Anglophones than for you.
- NikkiA 3y ago> But I also say /etc like "e-t-c" rather than etsy I've never heard anyone use anything other than either 'slash e t c' or 'slash et cetera', I think I'd probably have an immense urge to punch someone if they said 'slash etsy'
