    Object Orientated Programming Structured query language (OOPS-ql).

    For non-techies, SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to interact with databases and is often pronounced as sequel.

    Was the first thing that came to mind looking at this.

          It makes 0 sense, there aren’t enough letters to make saying it like a word viable.

          Look at NASA you don’t need to introduce any other vowels or violate letter pronunciation rules to say NASA as a word

          ‘Sequel’ came about from a quarrel in the 80s, SQL was originally named Sequel, but due to a trademark dispute with another company it got changed to SQL shortly after release. Said company isn’t even in business anymore. The whole pronunciation thing was just a form of protest that’s long since passed and most don’t even know that’s why it was done.

          I have no idea where Gooey started, but it’s the same thing, to get Gooey from GUI you have to violate pronunciation rules. Plus, it’s just a gross thing to associate with computer things, who wants anything computer related thing to be “Gooey”

          Do you pronounce TCP as TeaCup? How about HTTPS as Hetips?
