I'm mostly a casual linux user, so honestly asking, why is sounding like "bind" dangerous? -- edit: A quick search turned up the `bind` command to bind a name to a socket. That makes sense.

I was thinking more about the bind dns server when I made the comment, but yeah. Just thinking that verbally referring to the “bine” folder might cause confusion in certain contexts, where “bin” pronunciation avoids it entirely.

Also BIND is the Berkeley internet name daemon aka DNS server.
