see-quel wins, but what about the others?

My last post about how to pronounce a few “words” generated several comments, some of them were funny. “see-quel” was the clear winner in how to pronounce SQL.

To continue having fun and to settle once and for all how the following “words” are pronounced, I will let democracy take its course in the form of the following short polls:

    I may actually switch to saying See-lob, Bee-lob, CareBear2 and Plastic Squirrel.

    Until last week if someone had mentioned a See-Lob I would have assumed they meant some sort of marine mammal.

    I’m thinking about rotating the pronunciations on a weekly basis, just to keep it interesting!

    On a completely different note Eddie, I notice on the ‘Upcoming events’ section, you have Valentine’s Day listed as 2nd Feb. I always thought it was the 14th Feb.

    You’re gonna get a lot of people in trouble with their women folk with that one! :-)

    Lisa, thanks for spotting the Valentine’s Day date error. I fixed it.

    I sure was going to be in trouble with my wife if she knew I had the wrong date :)

    Just don’t miss your anniversary

    That would be a disaster. I have it in my calendar with a week prior notice :)
