Guess that settles the debate, we got to pronounce it "sequel" then to optimally match syllables

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.

I do say sequel when speaking English though.
