TIL that the "My" in MySQL is not the English word my but the Swedish name My, for the daughter of #MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius. ♡
The name My was introduced by Tove Jansson for the #Moomins character Little My, who is named after the Greek letter mu.
So you could pronounce My as [ˈmyː] or as [maɪ].
Never mind how to pronounce SQL.
MySQL documentation defines the official #pronunciation as “My Ess Que Ell” but the devs in Swedish say "mü-ess-ku-ell".

German language capitalizes all nouns, sure. But why not go all the way in composite nouns, like ComicHeft or BundesDatenSchutzGesetz?
My video is meant to be an example of how to do research on language and the brain.
I'm sharing the video , since I know there are a few linguists and people generally interested on science, the brain, and all that jazz...
Enjoy!

In this page you can see a description of the event, plus the zoom link.
I thought I'd share in case there are any linguists, psychologist, or just people generally interested in science here on diaspora who would like to check it out.
