I call them Graphical User Interface and Structured Query Language.
On a serious note, Gooey and Sequel. |

I pronounce it GUI and SQL. It's an acronym, not a word and this is my personal preference.
I don't refer to things like NATO as N-A-T-O btw |

Wolf doesn't know what an acronym is. You PRONOUNCE ACRONYMS as words.
Also G-U-I and S-Q-L. "Gooey" and "Sequel" is so stupid IMO, makes the person look less educated. |

I bounce between G U I and gooey, but it seems like the computer industry mainly says gooey
SQL I just say the letters S Q L |

In what world does using the industry standard make you sound less educated?
I will admit, when I talk about GUI I usually just leave it as "user interface" instead of saying "Gooey" because I personally don't like how it sounds, but the "Sequel" pronunciation is the pronunciation of choice among the industry. You don't hear about S-Q-L Lite, you hear about Sequel-Lite. Not Microsoft S-Q-L, you hear Microsoft Sequel.
Even end users, from my experience, pronounce SQL as Sequel, and they aren't even fluent in computer technology at all. |

I'm sorry? You resort to attacking me as a rebuttal?
"In what world does using the industry standard make you sound less educated?"
This completely counters your "IMO" remark, yet you claim that I'm either illiterate or closed-minded?
Not to mention that, due to lack of proper grammar, I wouldn't have known that it was your opinion was that it makes the person sound uneducated; your comment implies that in your opinion, the "Gooey" and "Sequel" pronunciations are stupid, and then you continue to say that these pronunciations make the person sound less educated as if it were fact. That's what the grammar tells me.
But I chose to interpret your statement as if the whole thing were your opinion, because I know that people do not use grammar properly in online forums, so I wrote a general, blanket statement that covers the entirety of your comment. I do apologize that you feel threatened by my response. |

Again with the attacks. I see how badly this forum has degraded. Shame, too, as it used to be fun coming here.
Maybe I should work on my Ignore extension after all. You seem like a great test subject. |

| You just did the same thing with your last response. Your problem, my friend, is that you gave much more than your opinion (hence why it was a paragraph), thus inciting a rebuttal. |

My problem is that I explain the reasoning behind my statements? How do you expect to learn anything when you're just given answers without the reasoning behind said answers?
If it takes a sentence, I'll use a sentence. If it takes a paragraph, I'll use a paragraph. I refuse to just give out answers. I explain them. That is my job as someone who teaches things to people. |

"In what world does using the industry standard make you sound less educated?" "Even end users, from my experience, pronounce SQL as Sequel, and they aren't even fluent in computer technology at all." Those sound like you trying to invalidate MY OPINION. In case you don't know what an opinion is:
"In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement about matters commonly considered to be subjective.
What distinguishes fact from opinion is that facts are verifiable, i.e. can be objectively proven to have occurred.[citation needed] An example is: "United States of America was involved in the Vietnam War" versus "United States of America was right to get involved in the Vietnam War". An opinion may be supported by facts, in which case it becomes an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analyzing the supporting arguments.[1] In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact." |
