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.

Cast your vote and let the most used pronunciation win!

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.

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!

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