        @bloor I cannot read SQL as anything but "squirrel"

        PostgreSQL is "post grey squirrel"

                @bloor@bloor.tw well SQL is pronounced "sqeual" actually so DNS would be more like Denise

                          @bloor SQL is SQL, but Microsoft SQL server is definitely 'sequel'. Nobody will ever convince me that SQL alone is 'sequel'.

                                        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
