It's always "Et-Cee" short for et-cetera.  (let the flames begin.)

(I've always found it odd that etc wasn't called something like /conf,
but of course, in the early Unixen, there were binaries in /etc so it
really was an et cetera directory.)

Another fun one is what to call "vi" - (I always called vai, never veee
aye - that can start a flame fest too) but if anyone calls it 6, they'll
get slapped with a tuna. :-)

fsck (pronounced fisk) is fun too... it almost sounds like a word..
