Ah, one of my favourites! When I learned MySQL in uni, my lecturer was
very strict about it being "My S-Q-L" and never "My Sequel" (of course,
this meant I've called it "sequel" ever since. Yes, I was THAT student).
I decided to go hunting for something slightly more definitive though,
and came across this:

Which really doesn't clear anything up at all ;)
