I think that this is particularly bad since there are many different pronunciations for btrfs. E.g. Wikipedia says

> Btrfs (pronounced as "better F S", "butter F S", "b-tree F S", or simply by spelling it out)

and I heard all of them in practice (except for spelling it out). While you can hear the difference for "b-tree F S", the other ones are much harder to distinguish.

Swedish person thinking I'll just pronounce it "bee tee arr FS". I mean that's what it says and it isn't a tounge warper so... Same with SQL, never got the sequel / whatever pronunciation, I just say the darn letters.
Oh, thx for pointing that out. I was not aware of the other possible pronunciations.
