This kind of flipped a switch in my brain, that makes a lot more sense than the "trash bin" pronunciation.

However, I will continue saying "bin" because old habits die hard and "bine" just sounds wrong to my brain for no good reason :)

It sounds dangerously like “bind”, so that might introduce some confusion in a circle that is accustomed to “bin”.

I'm mostly a casual linux user, so honestly asking, why is sounding like "bind" dangerous?

edit: A quick search turned up the `bind` command to bind a name to a socket. That makes sense.

I was thinking more about the bind dns server when I made the comment, but yeah. Just thinking that verbally referring to the “bine” folder might cause confusion in certain contexts, where “bin” pronunciation avoids it entirely.

Also BIND is the Berkeley internet name daemon aka DNS server.
