Pronunciation of sudo and SQL

[HarukaMa]

The creator of sudo reads it like "sue-do" in this interview video. Lots of English-speaking people reads that way too. There are also people who reads it like "soo-doo" though.

There is no standard for the pronunciation of SQL and many different people and softwares read it in either way(e.g. "sequel" in SQL Server and "S-Q-L" in MySQL(official)). I don't think that marking "sequel" as the correct one is indeed correct as reading it as "S-Q-L" is also correct.

In practice, reading acronyms(including SQL and others) letter by letter is usually acceptable, and I don't think only marking the "read-as-a-word" pronunciation is correct is, correct. At least include some notes that it is not the only correct one.

I therefore suggests that when creating a list like this, one should always do some deeper research to avoid misleading others.

补充: SQL错误发音同'circle'

/ˈsiːkwəl/ 是旧音，因为以前名叫 SEQUEL ，全称 Structured English Query Language。
后来改成 SQL 了，所以就改成读 /ˌes ˌkjuː ˈel/ 了。
