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

[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

@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!

@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.

@bloor DNS the menace.

@johntimaeus @robinadams @bloor I like skull so it's like Post Grey Skull.

[peterdrake@mstdn.social]

@mansr @bloor "squeal" except in October, when it's "skull".
