I don't mind it for most TLAs - but something
about the SQL really
annoys. Maybe it was just that it always seemed to be pronounced as
individual letters for years, and everyone was happy with it that way,
then 'sequel' started appearing sometime in the 90s; I don't like
change for no good reason :-)
I knew a guy that tried to get everyone to call it "squeal", (though he
mostly reserved it for SQL Server) -- sadly he didn't succeed. Kinda
like they tried to get scsi to be pronounced sexy instead of scuzzy, but
in reverse. :)
