I learned about 16 years ago on a Solaris course that /usr wasn't "user", I still say "user", but I'm happy to see the information spreading that that isn't what it actually is.
-
I learned that just now.

It's going to be TOUGH to mentally replace.

Wow, what an odd coincidence.
-
I always thought it was user and never questioned it. Yeah man there's shared libraries in there for all the users, so it's user. This makes more sense now.

-
usr did originally mean user and held user data.
Pretty sure this is a bacronym
-
I used to pronounce it like yuzr, knowing that it wasn't user, but not knowing what it was.
Now I have better context. Maybe I'll go with U.S.R.-
If you want to confuse people... I pronounce /etc as "ets", but one of my coworkers recently called it "slash e t c" and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant...
-
Well, considering that I am with coworkers who don't remember when to and not to put the '/' at the start of the file path (despite me explaining it to them multiple times), "slash e t c" is probably the better way.
