You're welcomeI tried it out loud and it came out "an S Q L", but then again, I am an Afrikaans speaker and some say, not sane either.... But of course you are right. It is Sequel.

Lurch the stalker Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Depends who you ask..Bazinga. image.jpeg You're welcome We can argue into oblivion about your incorrect pronunciation.
TheKaiser Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 And then to complicate matters further...... it's not based on the actual letter (vowel or consonant) but rather on the "sound" of the letter.... http://grammar-monster.com/lessons/an_or_a.htm So...SQL as in sequel is a ss (consonant) sound, so "a" is used.SQL as in S-Q-L is a eh-ss (vowel) sound, so "an" is used. We're all welcome?! Amberdrake, karlito and Uni 3

We're all welcome?! English is a funny language, but basically I'm right, Lurchy is wrong. I Agree We can argue into oblivion about your incorrect pronunciation. You concede. I accept. You, as the stickler for rules knows you do not argue with ISO standards.
