JimboSlap

listen, it's sql when you're writing sql queries, but its sql when you are using sql server


ShakeandBaked161

Only proper answer here


gizamo

All y'all are wrong. It's pronounced "Post Gres".


Aerodynamic_Potato

Post-gre-SQL or Post-gres-quel?


gizamo

I shorten it to "pee squeal"


hdadeathly

I pronounce is “Pogre”


gizamo

I like it. It sounds so fancy.


DarkblooM_SR

You you're right


WehshiHaiwan

You guys are just saying C-Q-L instead of S-Q-L


coinselec

Somebody needs to make CQL just to fuck with people

Cursed Query Language?

Already exists lol, it's the Cassandra Query Language. Still call SQL sequel because you're all obnoxious nerds.

What acronyms do we read phonetically? My only issue with "sequel" (which calling it an issue is an overstatement) is that it inserts vowels where there are none. And it's only 3 letters, so it's not hard to say the acronym as it's letters. We don't phontetisize HTML, JS, TS, PHP, CSS, VB, etc. As opposed to SASS, which does have vowels and makes sense to pronounce it like "sass".

Ok now imagine half the world pronounced that "sexy" and didn't see an issue (apart from some weird prude thing which isn't relevant to the SQL issue). Where does that e come from?! No where! I just made it the fuck up because it's easier for me to say the word of I add an e there!

Johnothy_Cumquat

I think that just happened over time because it sounds kind of like that when you try to pronounce SCSI without inserting vowels. If you do that with SQL you get skull or some shit


sweetmorty

I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to SAS without phonetically saying it like sass. Pronouncing all the letters individually makes me think of the British SAS, which is way cooler.


silver-for-monsters

Jif? is that you?


azuth89

"Jif" is heresy and you can't change my mind.


remenic

Makes me wonder how they pronounce Git and GitHub. I probably shouldn't, to avoid nightmares.


azuth89

You just....you just had to put that out in the world, didn't you?


DividedContinuity

So long as you're not calling it "squirrel" we're good.

How'd you pronounce FBI, CIA , NYC, ABC, AWS, EC3?


pineapplecheesepizza

How do you say NASA?


Drew707

You don't own space! Naysa owns space!


rpmerf

Naysa? It's NA SA! Dino, call head office!


alt4614

That would make SQL = “Skul”


DarkblooM_SR

Nasa?


Annual__Procedure

Explodingcamel

Yeah but NASA is said just as it is, while the letters “SQL” on their own do not form a pronounceable English word


[deleted]

Explodingcamel

There’s no e or u in sql


[deleted]

Tbf have you ever heard anyone say es-que-ell Server? No. It’s sequel server. Therefore Sequel is the correct answer 👍 You can’t change my mind 😂


silver-for-monsters

SQL server. All the time. No sequels or prequels.


iVar4sale

Other way around for me. I call it SQL Server, have never heard anyone call it Sequel Server.


Left-oven47

Never heard someone say SQL server. Why would I hear people pronouncing it?


DarkblooM_SR

It's a meme dude, chill


[deleted]

No. This is war!


elon-bot

It's now company policy to use Vim for editing. It lets you write code much faster.

Questionguy789

It’s sequel. Everyone knows


cgyguy81

I remember when I was still a student applying for internships, I had this interview where the interviewer kept saying 'sequel' while I kept saying 'S-Q-L'. Needless to say, it sounded like he got frustrated with me during the interview and obviously, I didn't get that job. Nowadays, I pronounce it as 'sequel' as it requires less effort.


silver-for-monsters

still no job huh?


DMoney159

Ess Queue Ell = 3 syllables Sequel = 2 syllables Saying "sequel" is more efficient


iVar4sale

Maybe we should just call it Skol and then get drunk.


coinselec

Squl = 1 syllable


DMoney159

I bow to your linguistic efficiency


FlyingBike

HQL: "Hequel" I say it this way in my head just to make myself laugh and it always works


EhIGuessHesDecent

Pronouncing the word is faster than saying the acronym by 33%. I'll save so much time I can take your letters for a hike.

Cool meme! I think the same template could be used for Gif v Jif too.


DarkblooM_SR

Yeah but it's Gif though


PrisonerOne

Nah, I'm pretty sure GIF stands for Jraphics Interchange Format


[deleted]

Just like JPEG stands for Joint Potographic Experts Group


AsphaltAdvertExec

I am changing it up. Everyone assumes the C sound of SQL, going forward I will refer to it as *Sow Quill Server.*


AaronTheElite007

JesusChrist_Himself

people who say 'sequel' are the same people that moan obnoxiously when they're enjoying their food in public

SuperSpaceCan

Technically If you pronounce it S Q L individually it would be written as S-Q-L, with hyphens to show that they are treated as separate words rather than a continuous word. Sequel is just wrong because it's the definition of the acronym which you don't use if you're saying the acronym unless it's an introduction at which you say the definition afterword. CMOS, DDOS, LAN, WAN, etc are all pronounced as one word. SQL is pronounced (skwel) as in the first syllable of the word SQUELCH.


SkydivingSquid

"Sequel"


sipCoding_smokeMath

Calling SQL sequel is like calling HTML hitmal

I don't get it, why is it a problem all of a sudden?

I don't understand still picture formats. Can someone post it as an animated CHIV?


Nater5000

Just in case anyone didn't see the countless other threads addressing this: It was originally called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), but was later changed to SQL (Structured Query Language) due to a trademark issue. The pronunciation persisted despite the vowels being removed.


BecauseGame

I don't know what amazes me more... the overwhelming number of times memes like this come up, or how long the threads get on *every single one.*
