<Mahal> I mean... at a "being a human" level "sequel" is easier to say than "ess que ell", so I can understand why it's hung around, we're lazy asses <-- SEQUEL was superceded by SQL
00:13
< Mahal>
ah
00:13
<&[R]>
IMO calling SQL "sequel" is overly ambiguous
00:13 * Mahal isn't a dba kind of gal

McMartin: I'd think the obvious pronunciation for 'SQL' would be 'Sickle'.
06:17
< ion>
I've always interpreted it as "esskewel" like some bad mispronunciation of "school" when I read "SQL"
06:17
<&McMartin>
That will work too
06:18
<&McMartin>
As noted above apaprently SEQUEL was the prequel.
06:18
<&McMartin>
But now that you mention it it should clearly be SKULL.
06:18

...I'm okay with this

My favourite has always been the Finnish vernacular of referring to MySQL as muesli

<&McMartin>
Given that it's traditional to use the French acronym and the English expansion for Doctors Without Borders, once you're mixing languages all bets are off.

McMartin: Did you know most DBAs are pretty open in relationships?

They act like they aren't in a relationship at all until they decide to really commit to it
