Is there a relation between Qt and Quick Time?

[jacek]

I say "ess kyoo el" insted of "sequal"

People tend to pronounce "SQL" wrongly as "sequel", because in ancient times there was another language, a SQL precursor, called Structured English Query Language --- SEQUEL in short. One of the sources of this error is M$. I heard its employees talking about "sequel server". How one could trust such "experts" if they don't know what they are talking about?

Maybe their SQL servers are really SEQUEL ones?

Nope, its ess-kyoo-ell for their servers, they just don't know what they're doing

And for the most part Katrina, you're doing it right. I sometimes say "kyoo-tee", then correct myself to "cute". My favorite is PostgreSQL - "post-gres-kyoo-ell"

So.... is it "officially" kyoo-tee or "cute"?

I always though "sequel" sounded wrong!

I love saying postresql too :-)

Well... TT insiders call it "cute". The original name, I believe has been mentioned here, was created because the letter Q looked cool in emacs on slack (.9x or some such). The 't', iirc, originally was a result of Tk, and noone was using a Q as a toolkit name, so the combo was born.

I don't believe there is any "official" pronunciation though

Haha. Yes, they must be real MORONS using such a colloqialism! Trust me, many DB experts, MS and otherwise use the pronunciation 'sequel'. It's just quicker and more natural to say. And everyone knows what you mean, historically correct or not.

To be honest, I wouldn't know

Well maybe it's more common amongst native English speakers.
