TIL, but strange choice.

On a related topic, anyone have an idea of the breakdown of people that say Sequel vs S.Q.L. and are there people that look down on others for their usage? Of course ignoring the opinion of anyone that says Jif.

I have heard that Windows users (or those more influenced by SQL Server) say "sequel" whereas Unix users (or those more influenced by Postgres) say "SQL". Think of how bad "Postgresequel" sounds in comparison to "Postgr-es cue ell". But what about other environments, I don't know.
