I invented pronunciation threads. The very first one was ``How do you pronounce ``SQL''''
IIRC the options were:
1) Sequel
2) Squirrel
3) Esse-queue-elle (faggot)
4) Other

I'm pretty sure you invented every /prog/ meme. After all, there are only two people who use /prog/, that I can confirm; me and you.

But sequel is the correct pronunciation. A long time ago SQL was originally SEQUEL (structured english query language) but they dropped the E and the UE. The pronunciation remains the same, however.

Not really, I think the real reason had something to do with not alienating those who weren't from an English background.

That, and having the ``UE'' in the name is redundant, but only because they aren't the first letters in the word.

That's pretty ENTERPRISE. It's like worrying about annotating music in Italian.

Or you could take a second to look it up and realise it was because of a trademark violation.
