Some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and some as "squeal"
(sh.itjust.works)
How about Es-Queue-Ell?
This introduces a non-trivial increase in syllabatic inefficiencies
I'm glad this is top comment, I thought I was weird for a moment there
I just pronounce it exactly like reading the letters individually, because I'm actually a human being.

Git outta here skinbag!
In French, we just pronounce it as three letters, so I was very confused at first when my English-speaking colleagues were referring to sequels of apparently nothing.
It’s always Star Wars
I second "sizzle" or "sissle." My partner pronounces API as "appy" and it's the best thing ever.
That's adorable.
I've always pronounced it "sequel", but ever since I attended a talk by the authors of PHP and MySQL Web Programming, and they pronounced it Ess-Cue-Ell I've been second guessing myself.
What I remember attending a PHP event in ~2009 was one of the old veterans there saying:
Only Microsoft folks say "Sequel Server", we say "My S Q L"
I always pronounced it as ess-cue-ell but gave up on it when everyone in professional environments said "sequel".
