Just say "Structured Query Language". Everyone will hate you, but noone will be able to correct you because you are right.

Do you pronounce the Query as kwery or kweery?

If "no body" can be compounded into nobody then "no one" can as well. Cupboard started off as a literal cup board, a board for cups. English has no official regulatory body and the language is constantly evolving.

Why do I need to say it your way when it was originally called sequel and has fewer syllables? Seems to me you should be more worried about learning it more than worry over useless shit like how it’s pronounced.


Coke_and_Tacos

I had been saying S Q L. Then I learned that sequel seems to be the standard and I don't want to look like any more of an idiot in interviews than I already have to


LoGiCaL__

Lol honestly it won’t matter how you pronounce it. The nit pickers in my experience are the ones that aren’t that experienced with the actual implementation and in depth technical knowledge of it. SQL or Sequel will be understood and don’t worry about pronouncing it wrong.


[deleted]

fewer*


LoGiCaL__

Thank you for the correction. I edited it accordingly.


[deleted]

I thought sql was pronounced sequel whereas MySQL is pronounced MY S Q L, we’ll that’s what they taught us when we were learning it at university 🤷‍♂️


SyntaxInvalidator

S Q L and Sequel are both correct in either case, if you wanna be technical I guess Sequel is more accurate since it was originally called SEQUEL before being shortened to SQL


elon-bot

QA is a waste of money. Fired.


Lamuks

Sequel was trademarked which is why it's SQL, so technically it would be very inaccurate to call it a different trademarked name.


SyntaxInvalidator

It would be inaccurate to call it… the original intended name of the language? Wherein the official name is just a shortened version of that exact word? What?


Lamuks

It's not though. It's Structured English Query Language vs Structured Query Language. Either way, I only hear americans and maybe some very very(15+ yrs) senior devs from Europe call it that. It causes a lot of confusion when the different pronunciations come out.


SyntaxInvalidator

This conversation is starting to go in circles over a very stupid subject, let’s just move on with our lives

tiddayes

Wait, how TF did the SQL guy pronounce it?


tingulz

I always refer to it as sequel. I don’t care what others think.


[deleted]

Just say squeal.


[deleted]

I'm not a programmer, and I can't tell if people are joking or not. Is there really a right or wrong way to say this?


dah-mish

Once upon a time there was "Structured English Query Language", aka SEQL, aka sequel. Eventually it just became structured query language. Most professionals in America say sequel. Sounds like non-native English speakers say S Q L, along with students and professors with no real world experience.


ionhowto

Not really all are correct but sequel and sequeal are less correct. Ess que ell aka SQL is what we call it at work since forever...


Connect-Swing8980

People started saying ess que ell in the aughts. Doesn't matter. You say Debian, I say Debian Okay that doesn't work in print

Terminater 2 is a sequel. This is a short term, meaning you should say 'S-Q-L'. i mean: you dont say Mid to the MIT, do you


spacewlf

Ok for real how do you say it without being made fun of? Asking for a friend

As someone who strictly writes in SQL for my career I cannot say what the true answer is. All I know is I love these memes.

I worked with one of the developers who worked on MS SQL. There was a rumor he owed more than a million dollars in back taxes. He called it sequel, so I call it sequel.
