The real question is, how do you say RADAR?

RADAR is an acronym. Some people don't know that. Bwuah hahaha.

Oh yeah, we're talking about MySQL.

Mai Es Que El.

RADAR is how you say radar, just like ASDIC is how you say ASDIC and SONAR is how you say SONAR :)

How about scuba? That's an acronym. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Anyway, that's off topic.

Back on topic, I consider myself lucky all this time. I have always pronounced it as my-S-Q-L. Just me, and I guess I am right. 8)

Yeah, I'm dougk_ff7. I have a sig. Just not here. It's huge. And a bandwidth monster.

Enough fragments?
