I read once that somebody pronounced SQL as 'squeal' which leads to mysql being pronounced as 'my-squeal'. Rightly or wrongly, I prefer that pronunciation too.

Rightly or wrongly, I prefer that pronunciation too. It's less cumbersome.
- elric 6y agoYes, it's often pronounced that way in my circle of friends, as a way of bashing MySQL, after all, it makes one squeal in terror. Although this started in the late 90s, back when MySQL was pretty awful. These days it's pretty decent.
