Re: How To Pronounce MySQL
Um, did anyone actually answer Jesse's question? The consensus seems to be that the correct way to pronounce it is My S-Q-L, Not My Sequel. So, that's the way I'm going to pronounce it. Actually, most of the people I say the name to have no idea what I'm talking about anyway. I only rarely have vocal communication with someone who would even know what a database is, let alone what MySQL is. So, I guess in the long run, it doesn't really matter, but just for those rare occassions when I'm talking with someone who knows what it is, I want to pronounce it right. Most of my technical conversations occur through e-mail or newsgroups like this one, in which I spell it MySQL, and the way it's pronounced doesn't matter. :-) Jesse -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
