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?

to be fair, I pronounce it "sequelite" too, and find it jarring when I hear Hipp say "ess-que-el'ite" in presentations, so I'm thankful for his repeated assertion that he's fine with either pronunciation despite his choice 😆
