TIL that the "My" in MySQL is not the English word my but the Swedish name My, for the daughter of #MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius. ♡

The name My was introduced by Tove Jansson for the #Moomins character Little My, who is named after the Greek letter mu.

So you could pronounce My as [ˈmyː] or as [maɪ].

Never mind how to pronounce SQL.

MySQL documentation defines the official #pronunciation as “My Ess Que Ell” but the devs in Swedish say "mü-ess-ku-ell".

Sources in reply.

Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.

Kidding aside, when you get tours of a Microsoft facility and ask this question, the official answer is "say 'Azure' like Nadella says it" - which is:

  • stress on the first syllable
  • first syllable 'a' as in 'cat' (not 'awe' or 'uh')
  • 'zh' (voiced 'sh') sound for the z
  • 'er' (not "oor") on the second syllable

"AAA-zher"

The overall effect sort of rhymes with "badger", but with a 'zh'.

Some of the people in this video get it wrong, but the clips of Nadella are what matters: m.youtube.com/watch?v=AmP11EgE

Ah here, I was this years old when I heard that Charles Stewart Parnell probably didn’t pronounce his own surname in the way it’s widely applied to Dublin landmarks and roads (par-NELL) but in the same way one might expect to hear in Ireland, with less emphasis on the second syllable (PARN’nell). Gonna road test this out IRL: “Just heading up to PARN’nell Square now. #ParnellNotParnell #CharlesStewartParnell #Parnell #Mastodaoine #pronunciation #IrishSurname oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com

Pronunciation Public Service Announcement:

"Meme" is pronounced "MEEEEM" not "Me-Me."

ChatGPT-4 Plus Explains it better than I ever could.

(See attached image!)

TLDR:

///

The word "meme" is pronounced as /miːm/, rhyming with "team" or "cream." This pronunciation was intended by Dawkins to rhyme with "gene," emphasizing the parallel between the two concepts (Dawkins, R. 1976).
