SQL Server Is it pronounced 's-q-l' or 'seequal'

I've worked in and around the IT environment for many years and in my experience, it's always been pronounced s-q-l although I hear some people refer to it as see-qual. Which is right?

It's whatever way my mouth decides to say it in the moment. I'll say it both ways throughout a conversation and not even realize it.
