SQL is pronounced “squirrel”
JSON is pronounced Jason
SCSI was always skuzzy.
I feel like this one is relatively uncontroversial
URL pronounced as “earl” however? I’ll spend all of my remaining energy in life ensuring the person saying it is stapled to the bottom of the Mariana trench with rebar
But only if you do it like Heavy Rain.
I will always judge people who say “sequel”
Why? It originated as literally SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language). It only changed because of a trademark conflict.
Same, but I’m willing to team up with them against people who call it squeal.
I thought it was pronounced Esquelle and Deaness.

Anybody else ever use HoTMetaL to make a website?
Not HoTMaiL?
Or HoTMaLe?
HoTtaMaLe
I always thought it was Hotmail, probably because my first email address was using Hotmail and that was sort of my first introduction to computing.
I had HotMetal Pro. I got it on a cd in a library book sale.
Add enough JavaScript frameworks and I’m sure the metal gets very hot indeed.
And if they wanted Qt pronounced any way beside “cutie,” they shouldn’t have spelled it “cutie.”
Wait , hold up. Has it been “Cutie Bittorrent” this whole time??
In my headcannon it has
I started learning some qt and python and apparently it’s pronounced cute.
Nah.
Fwiw I still say cutie everytime
It’s always Dennis
The original product was called SEQUEL. Structured English QUEry Language. They got sued over the name by a company named Sequel, so changed it to SQL but kept calling it sequel, as do we all.
So say we all
It’s the DENNIS system.
If the nameserver says no, then the answer obviously, is no.
It’s not sequel. It’s squirrel.
Skill. Then you can reply to any database problems your coworkers bring up with “sounds like a skill issue to me”.
Confusing because there is a DB client called SQuirreL.

Still wrong. Squeal.
sometimes its fun to stress wrong letters, like throwing out “ess-Kwall” or “seh-Kwall”
