The only people I know who actually call it ess queue ell are either too new to know the “sequel” pronunciation, or the type of person you generally smell before you see.
Here in Germany everyone I know pronounces the letters individually – as German letters that is, which means the Q is pronounced “coo” rather than “cue”. I don’t mind it, it’s not quite as clunky as in English.
Guess that settles the debate, we got to pronounce it “sequel” then to optimally match syllables
Uuugghhh noooo! Ess Kyoo Ell!! ESS KYOO ELL!!! brandishes flaming pitchfork!
Squirrel works too though.
The Australian pronunciation works… “squi-rell”. Common American one is somehow just one syllable, “Skwurl”
How do you pronounce Smurf?
I’m not Australian.
Yes but he serves a different community

“Squill”
Sequel to what?
