I prefer SQL, because you can pronounce it "sequel" or "es-cue-ell", and it's fine. CSS just doesn't have that kind of flexibility as a language.
CSS also pisses me off because it clearly doesn't cascade... to contrast SQL is a language, it is used for querying... and it's structured horribly. Please for the love of God let me
FROM foo WHERE bar SELECT bazcurses?
"Ksssss"
That's what I sound like whenever I have to tackle that bag of snakes.
I have also heard some say "school"
Well, those people are maniacs
I like squeal. MS-squeal, my-squeal
Real programmers refuse to refer to MSSQL as anything except TransactSQL or TSQL because 1) MSSQL is a fucking mouthful whether you prefer Sequel or ess-cue-el and 2) because those assholes named their RDBMS SQLServer thud leading to the constant confused "How is the SQL server doing?" 'SQL Server? We're not a Micro$oft shop..."
The real complex one is whether you're a postgre-ess-cue-el, postgres-cue-el, postgres-ess-cue-el, postgre-sequel, postgres-equal or postgres-sequel aficionado... and if you enjoy postgres-equal please fucking leave now.
@inspxtr@lemmy.world gave me the skull idea so PostegreSQL is now post-gre-skull
You sure you don't want to postgres-kull?
Skoll! I like it!
i’m leaning towards “skull” tho
"I dropped a table with skull"
it has a nice ring to it
