If "su" means "super user", "sudo" should be "sudoes" nop?

I thougt till today this means "super user do"

@stop Yes but question of grammar, shouldn't it be "super user does" and not "do" ?

I mean it more like "super user do: apt update"

I thougt it. I didnt say i know it.

@aki237 easy, simple mistake. When used in the context of "sudo" it does take the form "super user". It's just similar but not directly related commands.

Also, "super user do" is more of a command directive, rather than a grammatical statement. That's likely why, IMHO

Super duper user may be!

@aki237 welp, these came from the online man page references for su and sudo, as well as the history of sudo... If you want to be trite about semantics, there you go. ❤️

@aki237 no disagreement. You got pretty adamant about people "not knowing their shit" and to RTFMP. Well, there it is. Semantics aside - It's all the same thing. Now let's all agree to hope such power never falls into the wrong hands.

@Letmecode Thank you, now I understand :p (you'd guess I'm not a native English speaker ^^)
