For instance, MySQL is something that is pronounced in many different ways. I don't think you can just say one way is the correct way. The important thing to note is that you use the correct pronunciation or clarify if someone doesn't understand. Ideally, I try to use very little to no acronyms. So, instead of saying oop or o-o-p, I'll simply state object oriented programming.

Courses Plus Student 1,253 PointsAlright man, it's your loss if you want to sound like you just learned how to program last month. I'm sure you also have lots of fun having very long conversations about self-contained underwater breathing apparatuses and light amplification by stimulated emission of radiations.
