I worked with a guy who pronounced it like "Ess Quell". My brain twitched every time I heard him say it.

i'm old now? sheesh
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

You're right ... I'm old (84) and have been saying SEQUEL for many years. "SEQUEL SERVER" flows from the tongue a lot smoother than "S-Q-L Server".

met any of the "see hash" or "see hex" mob yet?
heck even had a "see hex symbol" (together with some demented finger waggling) once.
thus far luckily never met a "see hashtag" or "see pound" looser yet, but gonna bet they do exist.

Can you return the result as a Jayson object.. (or is it J-Sahn??)

Is it not a nice little play on words: SQL ("SEQUEL") = Seek Well?

If they were consequent in the pronunciation of abbreviations, they'd call the continent the "UI".

I guess because "Screen real estate" is very self explanatory, where the alternatives require you to be "in the know".
|
|
|
|

The problem with "screen real estate" isn't the "real estate" bit, it's the "screen" bit. People should just say "real estate", everyone knows what they mean. Also people should say "sequel" for "SQL".

Why not display area?, why real estate at all. We're not talking acres or hectares!

As UI builders, we have to communicate with users. The first step in that communication is using vocabulary they understand. Most people understand the term real estate to mean a space with designated boundaries. It's therefore not much of a stretch to use screen real estate to refer to areas on the screen. Software developers who don't develop UI have a long, vicious tradition of using terminology that confuses users in a pathetic attempt to boost their own flaccid egos.

Just say "pixels" or "square pixels" or "pixels squared"?
|
|
|
|

Because those terms are even more pretentious?
