It's all in the pronunciation
Apr 20, 2007 | 11:10AM

This cartoon from Working Daze cracked me up because it reminded me of the Grab staff. They use MySQL, so it makes me wonder what the debate is like down at Grab HQ.

In case you're wondering about the significance of what the cartoon guy is saying:

It's very much like the debate on how to pronounce "data". Some people say "day-ta" others say "da-ta". To-may-to vs. To-mah-to. Me? I say "day-ta" and "to-may-to".

And with MySQL? It's either "My Sequel" or "My S-Q-L". Me? I waffle between the two.

I wonder if any Grab staffers will even read this, and comment with how THEY pronounce it, considering they deal with it everyday at work ;-)

Funny isn't it, the petty little things people can get so caught up in and attach such significance to...

That's a neat cartoon.

As for me, I say 'da-ta', 'to-may-to' and 'My Sequel' hehe

P.S. Thank you for the blog comment. :)

Hmmm... another bio section! Let's see... what could I possibly say that's new/different from stuff you could read in my profile?

Well, I'm a happy Grabber who became addicted to blogging as soon as Grab blogs came out. I hope you enjoy my musings, boring stories of my life, memes and random quiz results :-)

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
