I've heard a couple people seriously pronounced URL as Earl. Everybody gave them a what the fuck look.

    Those are the same people that write "squeal" queries to get results out of a database.

    Yeah, that's madness. First of all it's sequel.

    Second, fun fact, it's a backronym! SQL came after a cease and desist for calling it SEQUEL, such that it could be pronounced the same.

    So yes, you can totally say Sequel instead of S-Q-L, it's even historically accurate to do so!
