Then you were wrong on both. It's Ess-Que-El, as in the letters, not some silly sequel word. |

I'm sure I read somewhere that nobody gives a shit about that anymore and as a rule it's considered a bit outdated. Probably heard something on Radio4.
And starting a sentence with "and" is alright nowadays. |

Sorry to carry on the pedantic theme, but you shouldn't really start a sentence with a conjunction (but).
It's a good call. Sorry. Innit |

It's an acronym largely used by IT professionals, not jobless layabouts, so we should know how to pronounce it. seekwal. Yah boo sucks |

It sounds a bit fonejacker that "seekwal" word, what's wrong with just sticking to S Q L?

I think it's probably the same computer people who thought that saying out GUI and WYSIWYG sounds good. |

"Seekwal" is for old school, "S-Q-L" is for cool uber geeks.

Right, so now we've got a selection of people who don't need to use the word on a daily basis teaching us how to pronounce our geek vocab. Do we lecture you financial services folks on how to pronounce "massively plummeting portfolio" or "missold endowments"? Or you layabouts how to pronounce "Jeremy Kyle"? No we don't. So bog off |
