    Weird, all the tech folks that I know call it SEQUEL.

    1. Sequels usually suck. 2) SQL reminds me more of 'squeal' than of 'sequel'. 3) Mickeysoft often makes me feel like squealing. So let's more adequately call it a squeal server and give it our squeal of approval.

      Those use SEQUEL probably old or learned from old... As today I do not meet anyone using that form anymore...

        That would just sow confusion, because we already use SQUIL :/

          I think you should just go with the flow, it's hard to change commonly used jargon. I always had problems with people saying SEQUEL instead of SQL, but I stopped bothering ... :-\

            I see the UX guys use this term frequently. Why not just call it "visual estate" or "virtual estate" For example: We need to consider the available visual-estate for the widget. instead of saying, We need to consider the available screen real estate for the widget.

            Why not display area?, why real estate at all. We're not talking acres or hectares!

                    met any of the "see hash" or "see hex" mob yet? heck even had a "see hex symbol" (together with some demented finger waggling) once. thus far luckily never met a "see hashtag" or "see pound" looser yet, but gonna bet they do exist.

                            i call it sequel just to make people mad at me.

                            When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

                                I always call it squeal. It seems far more appropriate to me.

                                  I used to work next door to the microsoft SQL team devs and how they pronounced it varied. I figure if they don't care enough to get after each other about it, neither should I. Still, I wonder how the former sybase folks feel about it.

                                  When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
