Many, many years ago I was working retail selling consumer electronics when
the Apple computer rep showed up fresh from training on this new Macintosh
thing. He related to us how Apple was trying hard to make sure their reps
pronouced SCSI as "Sexy". That didn't last too long!
If you really want to annoy a database administrator, insist on pronouncing
