| [Coke] | I see so many "an SQL" and want to fix them to be "a SQL" because it's "sequel" not "ess queue ell" | 20:56 | |
| sjn | "a Structured Query Language statement" | 21:15 | |
| [Coke] | I know that's technically correct, but I imagine the number of people saying in their head when they read it is very low. :) | 21:19 | |
| sjn | isn't is just easier to look at the text and say "ah, the author means 'ess queue ell' in this case, since they used 'an' as the indefinite article" | ||

| sjn | (meaning both forms are correct, depending on how the word is pronounced) | 21:20 | |
| (... pronounced by the author :) | 21:23 | ||
| [Coke] | "easier"? | 21:33 | |
| I'm looking at it from an editorial standpoint, trying to clean up the grammar. | |||
| also writing a test to complain about improper "an"s to enforce half of the equation, so I need to pick a side. | 21:34 | ||
| sjn | ah, if you're the author, then you get to pick :-D | 22:45 | |
| I for one (as a reader) can figure out your decision either way | |||
| coleman | I vote for "a SQL" | 23:23 | |
