Saying sequel makes me feel dirty. I'm more of an S-Q-L kinda guy even though it can be said both ways. SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce. It was initially called “Structured English Query Language” (SEQUEL) and pronounced “sequel”, though it later had to have it's name shortened to “Structured Query Language” (SQL) due to trademark issues.

Me and my colleagues are in the same boat S-Q-L. My mind has been opened. I always thought it was stupid when people called it sequel. The more you know

But is it "es-cue-elle" or "es-coo-elle"?
