I've come to know and love this directory as "Eht-C", as have most (not
all) of my collegues. Yes, we know that it's short for etcetera, but
"Eht-C" is a lot easier to say over the phone :)
After all, if things were pronounced based upon the root word that they're
derived from, we'd all be saying /lib is "libe" [as in library], instead
of "lyhb" [as in liberate].
You all pronounce it "lyhb", right?
...as my evil grin grows...I feel repercussions coming for having started

this.
