No, just pronounced that way.
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 hear that one pronounced as letters "EssCueEll" and as a word
"sequel", but I've never seen anyone try to write it any way other
than SQL. Are you saying you've seen it written that way? Lots of acronymitis back then. Still a lot now,
but users have had
more time to absorb some of it.
At least folk don't try to turn it back into a
word, like they insist on
doing with some acronyms (e.g. "sequel", ugh).
