At least it’s pronounceable and “photoshop” and “illustrator” are pretty self-explanatory. Acrobat isn’t I’ll grant.

I wouldn't call Adobe pronounceable, most people I know call it "a doab."

If they know what adobe is it's perfectly pronounceable.

So I can buy pictures with photoshop ?

Not defending kdenlive but photoshop is a bad example

Do you buy cars at the autoshop? Or buy lumber at the woodshop?

The photoshop is where you work on pictures. If you shopped there, it would be a photostore.

Just an FYI, outside of North America, the only shop specifically for work is a workshop. We would go to a auto workshop or a wood workshop. For Aussies or Brits a shop is equivalent to a store (often a small one). And yes go shopping at a shop or a store, you don't usual go storing at a store, unless it's like a grain store or a data store.

huh, never made that connection. I guess because I'm not American. Thanks for clearing that up.

if you stored photos there it would be a photoshed

At this point it is a term so used, any previous meaning has been replaced.

It is even used as a verb for 'generic photography edition'.

how is acrobat not pronounceable? have you never been to the circus?

He missed a comma:

you might be thinking about it wrong. maybe it's named after the number of hoops you have to jump through in order to make things
