I once received a document from an offshore DBA who had written 'seagull' for every instance of 'SQL' because that's what he thought was being said on conference calls.
Personally I cut it down the middle and go with 'squill' but then I always said 'scizzy' instead of 'scuzzy' for SCSI.
- kps 6y agoThe original intent was for SCSI to be pronounced ‘sexy’, but you can't always get what you want.
- hyperdimension 6y agoA DBA who didn't pick up that it was 'SQL' being said after the first couple times? :(
- aksss 6y agoProbably a DB2 dba.. to them all other platforms may as well have been made by seagulls.
