      Correct:

      • “Sequel”
      • Structured Query Language

      Incorrect:

      • “Squall”
      • “Es-queue-el”

      The one that people really screw up? PostgreSQL.

        It’s interesting that Wikipedia says it’s pronounced " S-Q-L" but was historically pronounced “sequel.”

        Also interesting, MySQL says on their site:

        The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

        Lastly, for those curious, PostgreSQL says on their site:

        PostgreSQL is pronounced Post-Gres-Q-L.

        My people often pronounce nginx as “n-ginsk” not “engine x”.

          We call things “bits”, “bytes”, and my favorite: “nybbles”. IT is rife with wordplay. How could they not think it was a cool way to spell “enigne”?!

          Soft G folk are just objectively wrong. Not only is Jif a peanut butter, it’s a damn file extension: https://fileinfo.com/extension/jif

          I don’t care how inconsequential it is, I will die on this hill.

        Generally English first language speakers say sequel while everyone else spells it out.

          If it’s pronounced sequel why isn’t it CQL?
