About Mr. Krwzyk - That's about pronunciation of words in another language. What's your point? I knew a Chinese guy whose name could not even be correctly written in English, but there are accepted conventions (dogma, if you will) on how to write, in English, the phonetic representation of such names.
It's been my experience that people in the IT world are very comfortable with the use of abbreviations and acronyms and rarely "wordify" the unpronounceable ones to make them pronounceable (EBCDIC qualifies, but only just). The naturally pronounceable ones, on the other hand usually are pronounced (NAT, FIDO, IMAP, BIOS). While sequel is an acceptable, if unnecessary, pronunciation of SQL, I have found it rare except in the specific case of users of Microsoft SQL server, where it seems to be the rule rather than the exception. But it doesn't actually bother me as I am not a dogmatic anal retentive. And I'm fine with that. My shrink's got enough to deal with as it is.
