        @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.

                            @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.
