Enterprise Software Pronunciation Guide

Description

A tweet screenshot from Randolph West @_randolph_west lists technology pronunciation jokes: "nginx" is pronounced "Engine-X"; "PostgreSQL" is pronounced "Post-gres"; "MySQL" is pronounced "My-S-Q-L"; "SQL Server" is pronounced "Sequel Server"; "Kubernetes" is pronounced "Koober-netties"; "SAP" is pronounced "S-A-P"; and "Oracle" is pronounced "Fetch the chequebook." The tweet is dated 9:41 PM, 4/2/20, posted via Twitter for Mac, with 1,868 retweets and 6,303 likes, plus a t.me/dev_meme watermark near the bottom. The humor mixes perennial pronunciation bikeshedding with the very real enterprise cost reputation of Oracle.
