@robinadams @bloor That makes more sense than any other pronunciation.

@bloor I think SQL should be pronounced like "squirrel".

@robinadams @bloor Post-GRE SQL is graduate-level SQL.

SQL is absolutely squirrel, though, it's where you squirrel away the things.

[ehurtley@pdx.social]

@bloor SQL is clearly pronounced “squeal”. MS SQL is “mice squeal”
