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

[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.

@unsungnovelty @bloor Don't know about that but the image file format of the Joint Photographic Experts Group is properly pronounced Jay Feg

@mansr @bloor true. #Apple and #Microsoft ensures this, BTW

@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".

@greem yeah that's the best thing I've read all day. Calling it Denice for ever now.

@robinadams @bloor I started out calling it "My Squirrel" before I'd ever heard anyone say "sequel," and that is how it will forever be in my head.

"I have to run a squirrel query."

"I'm having trouble running a join on these squirrel tables."

It's objectively better this way.

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@robinadams @bloor post-grey squirrel (they're very subtly tinted with color)

[oldfartrant@mstdn.ca]

@bloor or Donna's, dengue, denudes...

[robinadams@mathstodon.xyz]

@IceWolf @bloor I was imagining sending a grey squirrel through the mail.

[oneguynick@mastodon.social]

@bloor Great point, but no.

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@robinadams @bloor "★☆☆☆☆ instead of nuts, package contained squirrel!"
