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"?

Some are more established than others. The one with the highest levels of agreement I've ever encountered, is SCSI, which pretty much everyone in-the-know pronounce "scuzzy".

I'm struggling to realise it's anything but scuzzy.
