Hello,
Since I am readying to change our small-office desktops to Linux, I should know the correct pronunciation. Most of my education comes from reading, and usually there is no pronunciation key. When I first heard SQL called "sequel" I knew what it was but I had been pronouncing it in my head as "Ess Cue Ell". Same with "Two S" (Eye Eye Ess).
I was speaking with a colleague, a programmer and tech-head, and he called it Lye (rhymes w/ buy)-nucks, but I had heard Lynn (rhymes with Gin)-ucks on Tech TV etc.
So, which is the preferred pronunciation? Or are both accepted? Online dictionaries & encyclopedias are all behind the "Lynn" pronunciation, but this is a global forum. Thanks all.
Tony
