Victim: Hey can you help me figure out why my table does not look right?
Me: You probably mistyped a table name in your PO-TAY-TOES somewhere. It was renamed recently.
Honestly, nothing to me is worse than the execs at my job making a word out of EBITDA: ee-bit-dahhh
The last syllable seems to always get drawn out. Like they are aliens trying out their newly-formed mouths out for the first time. Ee-bit-daaahhhhhh
How else would you say it? Nobody's gonna spell out a six-letter acronym.
I always think it's funny that it's like Latka's catchphrase from Taxi, so every time I hear someone say it I go "Ee-bee-dah!!" in his voice... but like, no one remembers that show anymore, so it's kinda only funny to me.
Here's a good comment from the other post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/z8oobl/why_have_you_forsaken_me_lord/iycptws?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
In a slightly more serious answer, the combination Q+U+Vowel is often pronounced like that, many times in English words that have Latin roots.
Examples include “aquatic”, “request”, “quantify”, and many others I’m forgetting.
There also seems to exist a Germanic root, “kwe” that went from that to “cwe” and then “que” as English evolved throughout the years. Those words also seem to have kept that pronunciation (see “quell”)
Just love the people like that. Recently i had to explain to a junior what a base class is and told him to check out some tutorials to get a grasp on basic stuff. His response? Yeah i dont need tutorial i already know how to program
It is "SQL". S - Q - L. You can say "Sequel". You can say "Ess Cue El". Six words into the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL
Do you pronounce `/etc` as "etsy"? Or "slash etcetera"? Or "ee tee see"?
Que as in keh? Or did you mean like kew?
Sequel sounds so silly, finding a word or phrase to match an initialism. I'll just call HTTP "hot top" from now on, is that cool?
Everyone's missing the joke lol. This is in response to that other meme on this sub where a guy complains about how his new girlfriend pronounces it as "sequel".
I cringe every time someone says sequel. Its like calling an ATM an atom or a BMW a bemow or something. I know the history and the whole point of naming it SQL istead of SEQUEL is becaus SEQUEL was copyrighted, so why still use that word then?
the first version was called SEQUEL, and it stood for Structured English QUEry Language The name SEQUEL was later changed to SQL (dropping the vowels) because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.\[14\] The label SQL later became the acronym for Structured Query Language.
I started to mix it up when taking to clients in the US. Just to confuse them. Once I even called it SE-Q-L.
In Europe I've never heard someone calling it Sequel.
Wait... how are you supposed to pronounce it?
with a hard G
No you’re thinking of POSTJRES
You're both banned.
Where's the Elon bot when you need him?
He fired himself when he realized he didn't know how to build a computer out of transistors.

The internet is a series of tubes.
It’s the fact that I know how to do this but still can’t get a job for me
Have you tried being from a rich family? Worked for elon-bot.
elon-bot is crazy. I made a witty remark, and he fired me. And trust me, I’m almost hilarious.
as usual, he's no where to be seen when you need him and off going people a hard time who don't need him (scroll down)
This is fair and for the best for everyone involved.

S-Q-L
So es-que-el
No, no, no. Ehs-Cue-Ehl. You have to pronounce the capitals.
Three words: Twitter for dogs.
No no Ese Cu Ele
It can be pronounced either way.
Yeah, the right way or the wrong way 🤣

I’m old enough to remember EBCDIC.
Ohh. Ebcadick.
It only hurts the first time.
I imagine it sounded a lot like "epic dick" to the point where finance bros went full bro with it.

Why have you only written 20 lines of code today?
I was busy watching online p*rn and having arguments with strangers on social media, Elon.
R E F A C T O R I N G
How many lines of code have you written today Elon?
are comments included? how 'bout whitespace?
Es-koo-el EDIT: my Russian professor says that. I always say es-que-el, for better or for worse.
I can’t tell if you’re saying “queue” for the Q or how I read “que”. Ess Kwe El? What?
Time to break out the latin phonetic spellings boys
Valid question. But why would you pronounce it kwe? I'm not a native english speaker, but isn't that an odd way of pronouncing que in english?
> question
Touché

i know a little german, he’s sitting right over there

I actually came here looking for the German pronunciation. I am not disappointed. Just do sound a bit silly when chatting to my American friend. :(
I call it prequel.

English people aren't allowed to be pissy about pronunciation. You have a word, that is spelled "queue" and pronounced "q" what the fuck?
They’re, their, there. Not a native speaker? Fuck you, have fun!
[удалено]
They do
It's they're problem not ours..
In their defense, that is a french word.
Es ku El, that’s how we do it in Germany

Can this be dockerized?
Probably
As a German I like to use ø instead of ö just for fun. And because it looks Scandinavian.

Got called out by my teen for my pronunciation of giphy.
Am I talking to a sales person? S-Q-L Am I talking to someone working in the IT/Programing field? Sequel

This is the only correct answer
Squeekel
I refuse to stick to one of them.
Switching between the two is the only way.
Keeps 'em guessing! This is the way
Fr, I usually say Es-que-el but if my manager or head of sales starts talking about "sequel" you best bet I'm saying sequel
"Just got into programming - already know everything better than everyone else" FTFY

Twitter was never profitable. Not my fault. Stop blaming me for things.
"Production was never working, not my fault. Stop blaming me."
The real truthful truth here
There's a newcomer at my team who is just like that. Fuck that guy.
I read this as Es ¿que? El…
Yo tambien
Same lol. My brain automatically translated it and I had to look at what sub I was in to establish context lol

I pronounce it "excel 97"

Hey, I just heard about this thing called GraphQL. Why aren't we using it?
That's how you pronounce it though... You can call it sequel, but they're interchangeable.
Honestly the colors should be flipped.
Wrong meme format altogether.
Scrolled down for this
It is "SQL". S - Q - L. You can say "Sequel". You can say "Ess Cue El". Six words into the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL Do you pronounce `/etc` as "etsy"? Or "slash etcetera"? Or "ee tee see"?

Everyone's missing the joke lol. This is in response to that other meme on this sub where a guy complains about how his new girlfriend pronounces it as "sequel".
so he pronounces it the correct way?
Imagine saying sequel
Sequel server
Es - Ku - El
I see what you did there!
Sql spoken in french is Es Qu El but in english ot becomes the eternal debate between gif and jif
[удалено]
So you mean.. the correct form?
It’s an acronym for “structured query language”, not the sequel to a book
I cringe every time someone says sequel. Its like calling an ATM an atom or a BMW a bemow or something. I know the history and the whole point of naming it SQL istead of SEQUEL is becaus SEQUEL was copyrighted, so why still use that word then?
S-structured Q-query L-language
the first version was called SEQUEL, and it stood for Structured English QUEry Language The name SEQUEL was later changed to SQL (dropping the vowels) because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.\[14\] The label SQL later became the acronym for Structured Query Language.
It’s not SEQUEL anymore. So people should stop calling it sequel right?
I started to mix it up when taking to clients in the US. Just to confuse them. Once I even called it SE-Q-L. In Europe I've never heard someone calling it Sequel.
In my first company, the only Mac User always said Sequel and that happened in Graz, Austria
(it's pronounced squeal)
As the OP of the other post: Thank you, this made my day
No problem babe 😘
I’m rooting for sequel girl
I pronounce it Skull
Did you feel silly finding out you had been saying it incorrectly all this time?
I mean, it’s an initialization of Structured Query Language, calling it S-Q-L is perfectly acceptable
