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

@bloor what if SQL is pronounced “squirrel”?

[phlash@mastodon.me.uk]

@dgold @bloor yay! Came here to make this ref and have been beaten to it

[malwareminigun@infosec.exchange]

@bloor The best part about this situation is how one pronounces SQL tells on which database was the first one you were exposed to because the vendors disagree.

Emm Ess Sequel?
My Ess Que Ell?

No idea what Postgres, Oracle, DB2 et al want.

@bloor i'm a fan of "dunce" myself.

[djrndm@chaos.social]

@robinhouston @bloor It's clearly not. If it was, it would be easier for me to keep my focus.

[fraggle@social.coop]

@robin @bloor I'm calling it DNS the Menace from now on

[djrndm@chaos.social]

@robinhouston @bloor Oh, look ...

Got the acorns in the back,
nut stack is attached... 🪕

[somekindofgarf@kind.social]

@bloor I will die on a giant hill that has trees planted in the shape of "ess cue ell" on it

[stitzl@mastodon.social]

@bloor Since SQL is pronounced "squeal", DNS has to be pronounced "dunce".

I don't make the rules.

[jon_alper@mastodon.online]

@bloor @octothorpe Given what a menace it often is, that would seem logical.

[dpiponi@mathstodon.xyz]

@bloor Surely Denis as in "Denis, Denis, Pour un baiser d'éternité."

@qwyrdo@disabled.social @bloor@bloor.tw @me_@sueden.social

DHCP = dickpee, always

[mage_of_dragons@mastodon.social]

@bloor It's always Dennis

[ginaintheburg@mastodon.world]

@bloor

As in “The Menace”?

[feld@friedcheese.us]

@bloor it's always DENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[truh@shark.community]

@bloor squeal

[lordcaramac@discordian.social]

@bloor I think SQL should be pronounced like "squirrel".

[hareldan@mapstodon.space]

@bloor html is pronounced 'hotmail'

[furrybeta@shark.community]

@bloor DNS can certainly be a menace
