Some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and some as "squeal" (sh.itjust.works)

...But I've only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like "Cecil"? Or "Sizzle"?

I had a project manager back in 2008 who pronounced SQL "skwall." I heard "My Skwall" and "Skwall Server" so many times. We all said "S Q L." No one ever corrected him.
