:fire: SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?

@lucas1 said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
@kt_ Don't care. It is from America and thus being from America they don't understand how to speak proper English, so I am right as I am English.
Are you THE English (which they cannot speak) or AN English man?
-
@kt_ I shall consult the Queen on the correct answer.
-
I always like to think of the dark ages before relational databases and that while the original means we had were messy, today we use the next iteration - the sequel.
-
@Groaner Sometimes the original is better ... Predator vs Predator 2.
-
Basically, people using Microsoft things call it sequel, and other people like syllables.
-
my-skwul but Sequel Server.
-
@Yamikuronue ARGH total filth :D
-
I pronounce it "SQL".
-
Sequel, since long before SQL Server was a thing.
-
@lucas1 said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
"C-sharp" and "C-pound"
If anyone in my band had said "C-pound" (or, worse, "C-hashtag"), they would have been unceremoniously stripped of their instrument and thrown out the back of the band bus.
-
@Fox dunno trolling or stupid.
-
@lucas1 Ignorant, I guess, because I've literally never heard of anyone who says "C-pound" as anything other than a joke about the symbol.
-
@lucas1 said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
@Jaloopa Thus the smiley. Shall we have a debate between "C-sharp" and "C-pound" ...
I'm still unsure how to handle this in a non-English context. Should I call it 'Cis'?
-
Only native English speakers pronounce it "sequel". So SQL.
Also, we generally don't have debates about pronunciation since we just say things the way they're written.

@coldandtired said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
Structured Query Language. Acronyms are a gateway drug to homophones!
So how do you pronounce GNU?
-
"Ess Queue Ell" when describing the language.
"Ess Queue Ell Like A Pig" when describing a popular database server product which is often used for tasks it was never designed for.
"Mah-ree-ah" when describing the other database server which is often used for tasks it was never designed for.
I can't remember how to pronounce the name of the database server which is ideally suited to the task it is used for. To be honest, it just never comes up.
-
@Grunnen It is C-Sharp.
A poud in American is "#", whereas in musical notation it is "Sharp" so we call i C# without it being explained. English English from England is always superior to American Filthy English.
-
@anonymous234 American English says it Sequel. There is a big difference.
-
-
C-Hashtag
-
@lucas1 A better question is, do you spell it C# or C♯?
-
@anonymous234 whatever is easiest on my keyboard
-
In a professional setting, I usually say 'Sequel'. In private, I prefer to call it 'Squeal', when I don't just called it 'that fucking bullshit'.

I mean other languages than English. The musical note 'C#' is called 'Cis', for example, in German and Dutch. Or even 'do dièse' in French.
The standard says that it should be pronounced "C sharp" but that's too anglocentric for my taste.

I've always preferred to call it D-Flat, but I don't use it so I can get away with jokes like that.
Or just call it 'that fucking bullshit'. That term has broad application.
As for Squeal, well, it's a pretty half-assed language overall, and comes across to me as having been designed by people who (to paraphrase Yahtzee) seem to have heard of relational calculus but haven't fully internalized the concept. The fact that it was actually designed by people who were considered experts on relational theory is fucking horrifying.
Filed Under: R2HR may have been awful, but at least it was a goldmine for game reviewers

@lucas1 said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
It is an initialism and not an acronym. So you say the letters individually.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds...

@CPound. There was a guy around here (or a story? who can remember) calling it C-Octothorpe.
-
-
Sequel Server, My-sequel, No-sequel, Postgre-sequel.
Sequel. Sequel. Sequel. Sequel. Sequel.
You can call it something else but you would be wrong.
-
@Fox Aha! @C_Octothorpe.

I bet you pronounce Gif as Gif, you weirdo

@Jaloopa some people say it as this:

@kt_ at the same time, I know that some products are using the ess-kew-ehl way, like MySQL or SQLite
So am I when I say "Sequel lite"? :P
-
@Yamikuronue I'm not alone!

With Poegressives it is impossible to tell.
-
@Polygeekery I love that term because if you don't agree with them you are basically hitler, my sister included. Fucking SJWs
-
@Karla said in SQL: sequel or ess-kew-ehl?:
Sequel Server, My-sequel, No-sequel, Postgre-sequel.
I was with you until the last. As a bit of disconsistency, I say "Postgres-queue-ell"
-
@Polygeekery I actually love that.
Later can I call you Poelygeekery? jk I'm probably going to anyway
-
I've heard of people saying "c-poundsign" or even "c-hashtag".
-
@bb36e C Sharp.
A pound is one of these things.

I mean, that's funky, because it would be "esquellite" if you did the letter pronunciation.

@sloosecannon Liberté, égalité, fraternité, esquellité.

@anonymous234 Like the animal. However, I don't think I've ever needed to say the name of the animal or the other one aloud ever.

C♯ is pronouced "Cis" in German.
