Is it the same people that pronounce SQL as "sequel"?
I spent 20 years working as a sys admin, moving to new offices around the globe every few years. No matter which country I worked in, every single sys admin I've ever worked with always pronounced it "sequel." I've never met anyone in real life who spelled out the letters when speaking it.
Wait, do you actually say the letters every time? Just think of how many syllables you've wasted in aggregate over the years!
I usually just don't talk, that saves even more syllables
Someone on here the other day said it's actually squirrel
I pronounce it squill
When it's obviously "school?"
you mean it's not 'squeal'?
I think you mean "ass quail"
