If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@lumiukko I agree.

I've always pronounced it My-Ess-Kew-Ell.

But equally I've always pronounced DNS as Dee-Enn-Ess.

In other words not MySequel and Dennis.

Broke: "Sequel" and "Dennis"

Woke: "Squeal" and "Denice"

@jimfl @bloor this being Mastodon, that *has* to be the name of a server somewhere.

@bloor
It's not. Sequel was a predecessor of SQL.

Pronouncing SQL "sequel" is like pronouncing Windows "DOS".

[ivansanchez@mastodon.social]

@leeloo @bloor It makes sense if you're spanish, because first there's Windows DOS and then there's Windows Tres Punto Uno.
