"sequel" is one I heard before.
That was the original name IBM wanted to use, but it was already trademarked. I remember my professor making a point of not pronouncing it sequel, and telling us that story.
This is actually one of those situations where the official stance is "we only give a shit on paper"
Originally they wanted to call it SEQUEL which was.. Idk, some acronym somebody else can look up but apparently it was taken at the time and people actually cared about that kinda thing in the 70s so it became "SQL" which was probably spelled out in business environments but obviously it was still "spiritually" SEQUEL
It's just an initialism, like FBI or MI5. Nobody is calling them Fibby and Mefive.
This isn't debatable: Skull.
