I'm a tech writer and in our industry everyone writes "a SQL server" because 99% of people call it sequel.

We never use "an SQL server" because only tards say ES-QUE-ELL.

Is this a general things in English though? Like of course you speak "an FTP server" but do you also write it this way?

Also literally everyone I know calls it es que el but I always hated nerds discussing about how to pronounce abbreviations

>>59528964
Hibernate.

This is becuase sql was called seqeul -> structured english query language. Before it was renamed to sql

Abbreviations are never meant to be pronounced as full words

MySQL > YourSQL

at my last job everyone did, it was so grating on my ears

>>59528156
I pronounce .webm as "web master" for some reason...

>>59529033
>YourSQL

FLIR? (Forward Looking Infrared Radiometer)

Those people included Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce, creators of both SQL itself and the fucking acronym.

>There are people who don't know SQL was literally called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) before its creators decided to drop the "English" part and shorten the acronym while keeping the pronounciation

There are also people who pronounced it as squirrel. My squirrel. Squirrel server. Posgresquirrel. No squirrel.

>>59528156
It is "sequel" unless it's a part of the name of something else. MySQL is "My S Q L" for Instance.

SQL injection is "sequel injection"

>>59528156
Here's a list of shit I pronounce wrong but refuse to correct myself:
SQL - "Squeal"
.[x]df - An "uh" with whatever the first letter is and "diff" (with the exclusion of .pdf, which I say correctly say "pee-dee-eff")
.sh - "Shuh"
.ps - "Piss"
.tgz - "Tigz"
.tar.gz - "Targus"
.wz - "Weezy"
.js - "Jas"

>>59530935
I mean, I have similar pronunciations but I never say them except for in my head when reading extensions.

.tar.gz reads to me "Targziz

>>59528156
SQL is known as sequel because it was originally trademarked as SEQUEL, or at least was going to be until that fell through. That is ultimately why SQL is pronounced "sequel".
