Jilano273064yWriting "es kyu el" is just a way to show the pronunciation when you don't know the phonetic alphabet.
ˈɛs kjuː ˈɛl vs ˈsiːkwəl
If i may, you're not a moron for disagreeing or things like that, but you might be for getting mad for no reason and not doing any research on the subject before complaining. -
Both are totally fine. Sequel comes from the historical name, but spelling SQL as just the letters is just as correct.
But if we're going with historical pronunciations: kubernetes, usually pronounced as "koo-bur-nett-ease", is from the Greek κυβερνήτης. That's "key-vur-nee-tees" in modern Greek, and "koo-bur-nay-tays" in Erasmian Ancient Greek.
That's why I stick to k8s, pronounced "kates" or "katy is having a bit of a tantrum". -
Oh and FYI:
GIF is of course pronounced with the G-sound like "gimballing giraffes". -
When people start pulling their pronunciation opinions, it usually leads to internal cringe...
