Some time around 2008-2012, I think, my habit shifted from saying S Q L to SEQUEL in most cases. Even internal voice, when thinking/reading, still says SEQUAL now. Even things like My S Q L became My SEQUEL.
I feel like I made that shift due to how people around me, and how public speakers, were aligning on it too, it felt to me that the nomenclature was unifying a bit as linguistics evolve and change a bit over normal course of time. I remember the shift was not easy and I had to put intention into it and it took a bit of time to make it feel natural. Although, I’ve never thought about this too deeply and as I write it I’m Not sure how others would respond to my memory of it. I’m sure it’s very regional, and now age dependent as I’m sure if I was passed mid career at that time i wouldn’t have budged on my preferred terminology but also there’s many people who maybe are just too young to understand the time and trend that I remember. Or just my own experience and there was nothing really unifying at all.
