…But I’ve only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like “Cecil”? Or “Sizzle”?

    I’ve always pronounced it “sequel”, but ever since I attended a talk by the authors of PHP and MySQL Web Programming, and they pronounced it Ess-Cue-Ell I’ve been second guessing myself.

      What I remember attending a PHP event in ~2009 was one of the old veterans there saying:

      Only Microsoft folks say “Sequel Server”, we say “My S Q L”

      I always pronounced it as ess-cue-ell but gave up on it when everyone in professional environments said “sequel”.
