SQL is pronounced ‘Sequel’ because it was originaly SEQUEL.
SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd[12] in the early 1970s.[13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM’s original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s.[13]

It then later evolved, and changed from being an acronym into an initialism, kind of, sort of, mostly for people who are unaware of the etymology.
‘Sequel’ is quite literally the tradtional way to pronounce it.
Denise - it’s French
You say your name right! Now, dee-NICE!
How do you pronounce PDF file?
I had a coworker pronounce URL as Earl.

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

Anybody else ever use HoTMetaL to make a website?

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.
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.
That guy REALLY likes trademarks, apparently
Same, but I’m willing to team up with them against people who call it squeal.
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
