  Me too. And I say them on the World Wide Web, which is quicker to say than the WWW.

  SQL, back in 2015, officially transitioned from being pronounced Sequel to being pronounced EssQueueEll.

  I still call it Sequel.

  Then again, I say U R L, but also pronounce URI as Yuri. I also say L O L instead of Loll and I R L instead of Earl.

  And then there’s mixed acronyms like Jaypeg and Empeg.
