If sudo stands for “superuser do”, and on Windows they call this user an “Administrator”. It stands to reason they should call it `audo`.

Though this would be confusing, as people would pronounce it like “adieu”, which would make it sound like an alias for `logoff`.

"Administrator" doesn't contain a "u". `addo`/`ado` both would make more sense and flows better off the tongue.

And once the initial install of something was complete, you'd then be able to run it with no further ado :D
SuperUser DO

Administrator User DO
