If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@lattera @bloor it's the leanest, the meanest.

@bloor I cannot read SQL as anything but "squirrel"

PostgreSQL is "post grey squirrel"

@bloor The "If" is doing the lifting here. It is an abbreviation, therefore it is S.Q.L.

No matter what Americans make of it...

@robinadams @bloor

@bloor But of course it is!!!

[ixhby@plasmatrap.com]

@bloor@bloor.tw well SQL is pronounced "sqeual" actually so DNS would be more like Denise

[mansr@society.oftrolls.com]

@bloor mDNS is "madness."

[shnooflebear@curly.cat]

@bloor of course, and HTTP is pronounced HotPotato.

@bloor SQL is SQL, but Microsoft SQL server is definitely 'sequel'. Nobody will ever convince me that SQL alone is 'sequel'.

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@bloor the one who make me say sequel insteal of S.Q.L. isn't born yet.
