Is sqlite pronounced sequel-lite or s-q-l-lite?
If they wanted it pronounced like a word, they should have spelled a word.
The originators of SQL *want* me to pronounce it like a similarly-spelled word, but that's an unreasonable request.
More seriously: if I say a word, by default people can be expected to hear the way that word is normally spelled. So if I want to be understood clearly, I have no choice but to spell it out if it's spelled differently. Which is true for SQL.
