In my experience in the professional world, those who have any real knowledge to share about the subject always use S-Q-L, people who reads terms to mention in interviews and conversation say SEQUAL, and 15 year olds say SQUEAL.

My experience says the exact opposite - its always the fresh out of school newbies that say S-Q-L, while we older dogs say "sequel".

Sequel FTW

Well, it may even be regional or specialization specific, but let me give you guys another example of needless acronym naming: URL to "Earl", does anyone you know worth their weight use that?
