At this point I can’t remember if the first time I heard of SQL was in reading and I just read it as an acronym or if it was audio/visual and that’s how the person said it… Sadly, it’s a mystery I’ll never know the answer to.

In French, we just pronounce it as three letters, so I was very confused at first when my English-speaking colleagues were referring to sequels of apparently nothing.

I second “sizzle” or “sissle.” My partner pronounces API as “appy” and it’s the best thing ever.

I just pronounce it exactly like reading the letters individually, because I’m actually a human being.
