If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@qwyrdo @me_ @bloor

Used to work with an Aussie guy who insisted that `mdadm` should be pronounced `muh-dad-em`

Actually that one's stuck with me and I have infected others since

[unsungnovelty@mastodon.social]

@neil @lanodan @bloor @g Exactly! It was right there!

[ilmari@social.treehouse.systems]

@qwyrdo @me_ @bloor "hot titty-piss", surely

[lykso@tiny.tilde.website]

@bloor I'm one of those weirdos that always pronounces the letters individually.

@bloor De-nice (as pronounced in that one Key and Peele comedy skit)

@bloor While we are at it, let's also get to the bottom of gif vs jif as well??!!

@bloor Ah Smutpee, the backbone of email!

@bloor

Dennis...on's

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@bloor I come from the AU where it's pronounced "squirrel" and "dins."

@jimfl @bloor I didn't know you were *called* DNS.

[randamumaki@mstdn.social]

@bloor Not Dennis. Denise.

[jimfl@hachyderm.io]

@silvermoon82 @bloor

No, it’s not Dennis
There’s just no way it’s Dennis
Welp. It was Dennis

[jimfl@hachyderm.io]

@nxskok @bloor “Well, you could query for a CNAME record…”

[ravenluni@furry.engineer]

@bloor No - its pronounced 'deeznuts'

@bloor

According to this highly scientific poll, this matter has been settled.

Now that this important problem has been settled, repeat after me: "Don't believe es-queue-el is a sequel." Thank you, and good night.

@culturednyc @bloor EHLO!

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@bloor

personally, i've always pronounced SQL as "squeal", since that's usually my reaction when i have to deal with it.

DNS could be "dins". with small TTLs, it's really really noisy.

[tssreniasoars@tailswish.industries]

@bloor DNS the menace.
