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

[jon_alper@mastodon.online]

@bloor @octothorpe Given what a menace it often is, that would seem logical.

[dpiponi@mathstodon.xyz]

@bloor Surely Denis as in "Denis, Denis, Pour un baiser d'éternité."

DHCP = dickpee, always

@bloor Denis, with a hat-tip to Pynchon

[mage_of_dragons@mastodon.social]

@bloor It's always Dennis

[ginaintheburg@mastodon.world]

@bloor

As in “The Menace”?

[feld@friedcheese.us]

@bloor it's always DENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[truh@shark.community]

@bloor squeal

[oheso@ieji.de]

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

[lordcaramac@discordian.social]

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

[hareldan@mapstodon.space]

@bloor html is pronounced 'hotmail'

[furrybeta@shark.community]

@bloor DNS can certainly be a menace

@bloor In Quebec it's pronounced "den-KNEE"

[hwll@sunny.garden]

@bloor done

[lori@cambrian.social]

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

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

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@LordCaramac @bloor yes because you squirrel away all that data, keep backups that you forget to check and which then grow into trees.

[ehurtley@pdx.social]

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

[underdarkgis@fosstodon.org]

@hareldan @bloor first time I heard 'sequel', I thought people were pranking me

[rachel@norfolk.social]

@bloor presumably, BIND shall now be known as Bernard.
