Give it time. "tracert" used to be "tray-cert" in my mind for the longest.

Its been over 20 years, lol f-stab ain't going anywhere.

I'm saying ‘trace-ert’ inside my mind, simply because that 's way cooler that ‘trace route’ or whatever.

Depends on the OS for me. Tracert is the way you say it, trace route is the way I say traceroute.

I still pronounce it “n-jinx” even though I know now that’s wrong.

That's how everyone pronounces it in Russian, the native language of Igor Sysoev.

Being inside my mind is a curse, I admit. Also, I am technically wrong. According to their marketing page, it’s “engine x”.
