Some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and some as "squeal"

How about Es-Queue-Ell?
This introduces a non-trivial increase in syllabatic inefficiencies
Well done
I'm glad this is top comment, I thought I was weird for a moment there
At this point I can’t remember if the first time I heard of SQL was in reading and I just read it as an acronym or if it was audio/visual and that’s how the person said it… Sadly, it’s a mystery I’ll never know the answer to.
