I'm pronouncing "SQL" as "ess cue ell" and "Clojure" as "clo [dry heave] r" and you can't stop me

@LottieVixen Not sure, actually. "Sequel" might be canonical but I could be mistaken.

@kaye not sure what canonical is but I use both..depends on what others use around me

@LottieVixen @kaye not that this informs official pronunciation, but the original query language was actually called SEQUEL - they changed it because an aircraft company had a trademark on that acronym or something

@typhlosion @kaye so wouldn't saying SEQUEL be incorrect because of that trademark (or w/e)?

@LottieVixen @kaye i mean it's spelled SQL but i'm sure the official guide to pronunciation is "why are you in my house, get out, we're celebrating my son's birthday party"

that's what they told me anyway

@kaye SQL is an acronym, if you say it as a word you probably think Oracle is a decent db
