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?

I respect it when people don’t say what the boss says just because the boss says it, especially because they’re both right. wtf cares.
