    Just tell him "Structured Query Language" and that will shut him up, hopefully.

    Although pronounciation guides say both is correct. Basically a similar issue to GIF.

    Although sequel annoys the hell out of me hearing it.

    Microsoft has always use Sequel as pronunciation but at the end of the day, as long as you know what it is it does not really matter ;)

    There are more important things to disagree on than pronunciation :P

    It is probably why MySQL was invented. I say it my way...

    In all fairness all but MS call it es-ku-el.
    Helps in speech to avoid mixing up MsSQL & MySQL.
    I often squeal at MS SQL syntax crap so it kinda makes sense.

    Transact-Sequel, part deux, the seconding. Or polish-sequel, The Witcher version. Or database dos sequel, or polished-procedural-post-greesqueal sequal, the second. Je ne sais quoi?

    Words be like, amirite? 😆
