The real debate is whether it's sudo or sudo.

I know it means "super user do" so should be pronounced "sue doo", but it just grates on my ear. To me it will always be "Sue dough"

It's "substitute user do", and defaults to root

So it should be pronounced "suh doo"?

I'll have fun annoying people with this pronunciation, thanks!

The u is from user I assume, not substitute, so pronounced sue if you want to maintain the original pronunciation of the word it's from.
