Well, that's really only one person's opinion of how to pronounce
"SQLite". Even if he is the author. :-)
I personally prefer the ESS CUE LITE pronunciation because it is
shorter. On the other hand, I also pronounce SQL as ESS CUE ELL, and not
SEQUEL as so many other do.
The same issue has surrounded Linux for a long while. There are several
different pronunciations given to the letter "i". Some (like me) use a
short i sound (like fin), some use a long i sound (like fine), some use
a long e sound (like bee). The later is derived from the correct
pronunciation of Linus Torvlads first name in his native Finish. Linus
himself uses the first style as demonstrated at
