"an sequel"? Tell me I haven't been saying it wrong this whole time ๐Ÿ’€

Plenty people say Ess Que Ell. And hence "an" would be correct to use.

There are four types of people:

  • "S.Q.L."
  • Sequel
  • Squirrel (seriously, I met 3 unrelated people saying squirrel. Why?!)
  • Who cares? You should use [another tool] anyway

#5? (Me): pronounced S.Q.L. except for Microsoft's product which is pronounced "sequel server".
