…But I’ve only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like “Cecil”? Or “Sizzle”?
🤔
I personally pronounce it S.Q.L
I have never heard of someone call SQL squeal lmao, sequel or S Q L is all I have heard
I like to use the non-acronym name, so that I can say: “Structured Query Language. Or, with the JSON field type, more like UNSTRUCTURED query language!” And then I laugh like a maniac for 5 minutes while the other people in the line at Wendy’s give me weird looks.
To be consistent, you should call them JavaScript Object Notation field types
Germany here: In my company we pronounce every letter, so: “Eß Kjuh Äl”.
How about Es-Queue-Ell?
This introduces a non-trivial increase in syllabatic inefficiencies

I’m glad this is top comment, I thought I was weird for a moment there
I have always pronounced it spelled out. Es Qu El
I kind go 80/20 Sequel/EsQueueEl (squeal wtf?) when talking in english and “Ese Cu Ele” 100% when talking in Spanish
Log4j is another fun one.
Log For Jay or Log Forge?
Low gaj
I just pronounce it exactly like reading the letters individually, because I’m actually a human being.
Eye tee oh oh ell eye kay ee tee oh pee are oh en oh you en see ee ee at see aitch ell eye tee tee ee are bee ee see ay you see ee eye tee oh oh ay em ay aitch you em ay en

Git outta here skinbag!
I second “sizzle” or “sissle.” My partner pronounces API as “appy” and it’s the best thing ever.
That’s adorable.
I mean, people call JSON jason, so i suppose sequel for SQL is alright (although, i still use Es-cue-elle). Sizzle absolutely needs to become a thing.
In French, we just pronounce it as three letters, so I was very confused at first when my English-speaking colleagues were referring to sequels of apparently nothing.
It’s always Star Wars
Ever since I saw this XKCD I’ve called it Squill
Everything has a relevant XKCD. There’s probably even an XKCD about there always being a relevant XKCD.
People who use tabs after punctuation 🥲
Some are more established than others. The one with the highest levels of agreement I’ve ever encountered, is SCSI, which pretty much everyone in-the-know pronounce “scuzzy”.
I’m struggling to realise it’s anything but scuzzy.
SurrealDB has Surreal QL. I abbreviate it SuQL and pronounce it “suckle,” haha
The execution environment should be called “teat”
