No it doesn't.

I say S-Q-L or sequel l depending on how I am feeling.

I used to use SQuirrel SQL to connect to DBs and write my sequel statements.

How many people specify there flavour of SQL ? T-SQL, PL/SQL, Ansi-SQL ....

This, I randomly alternate between Ess Queue Elle and Sequel, sometimes in the same sentence just to keep people guessing. I'm going to ad Squirrell to the rotation.

I always say S-Q-L because that's how it's spelt. It isn't spelt S-E-Q-U-E-L.

Correct. I used to work alongside the SQL Server product manager and tech guys when I was at Microsoft and everyone pronounced it as sequel server.
