jraAfter hearing it pronounced as both cha-root and shhh-root in the same presentation, I started having existential doubts. So:
How does fedi pronounce chroot?
| c-h-root | |
| cha-root | |
| shhh-root | |
| she-root | |
| Other / I know a funnier one (comment) |

@nina_kali_nina Taking over the means of production, one syscall at a time
@jra the means of production can be only taken over after taking means of staging and testing

Chip@jra I’m not sure I’ve ever said it out loud but I’ve always imagined it as it’s spelled - single syllable like “true” with a terminal T. Or maybe extended into two syllables with a relaxed first vowel like “chə-root”.

Eve, Go Listen to Dead Channel Sky@jra Kroot (it's a hard CH)
Kevin Riggle@jra chruit. All one syllable. I’m told that my pronunciation of the ‘oo’ dipthong is the only thing in my accent that really marks me out as having grown up in the rural Midwest any more

Thomas Guyot-Sionnest@jra I would say either c-h-root or change-root...
Jeff@jra Variant of cha-root: tchroot or in pinyin phonetics qrut.
So, cha-root or che-root, but I don't put the extra vowel in ahead of the `r`. I have always pronounced `r` in a Mandarin style with the tongue back and rounded, and it works as a vowel-consonant hybrid. I've also got enough German that T+sibilant+r at the front of a word doesn't feel weird.
Stefan Ihringer@jra rhymes with "Groot" but with the initial sound of "change". So... chroot? 😅

@jra ch-root, like the cyrillic [ч]
pollinator stan@jra all one syllable. think of how brits say "true" and put a t on the end. tshrue-t.
