Hi folks,

This came up today.

In our old documentation the author uses "an" for SQL server. But all our people pronounced "SQL" as "sequel." So, one of the engineers came to me and said, "this is all wrong, it should be 'a SQL server'!" I explained that when pronouncing it as "ess cue ell" you would us "an."

So now this is a big discussion.

Your comments, opinions, and input, please.

Thanks.

Arroxane
