The word Unix sounds very close to the word for a castrated male.

@auntieclokwise @victorz :-) What is the language on which you are thinking on?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm reading English text, I think in English. Otherwise it varies between my native tongue and English.

@victorz They are not even similar on English.

Unix and eunuchs. They are very similar.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

But yes they are.

Also I think you mean "in English". Is your native language perhaps Scandinavian or otherwise close to German?
