3rd option for "It doesn't matter, I don't really pay attention to which I use or perhaps I alternate between them... and I won't hold a grudge against anyone who says it differently?" If that's too long, you can just an option that reads "Doesn't matter"
Like Leenoox vs. Lih-nux vs. Lie-nux, or v-i vs. "vigh" (rhymes with "high"), it's just preference. There is no clearly "correct" pronunciation. However, the first "a" in Nevada is like the "a" in "cab". That's not negotiable. ;-)
Ummm. There absolutly is a correct pronunciation for Linux. Any person who's been involved with it for more than 10 years will remember the AIFF file floating around: "My name is Leenus Torvalds and I pronounce Leenux, Leenux" And while there's some slack on how to pronounce SQL (because of the origins (QUEL from Stonebraker and then the whole SEQUEL/SQL issue), it's understandable and acceptable that people could pr…
I said Lie-nux for the first 5 years or so that it was around, based on the way I read his name as an American. I could be ok with Lie-nux or Leenux, but I've never agreed with Lenux.

Well the question is which you use, not which is "right". I guess an option for "I use both" would be appropriate.
Sequel, as in "my sequel" because it takes less time. I gravitated to this when I started having to use the term a lot more. Interestingly, I still say "post gray ess queue ell", dunno why. Actually, more often I'll just say "post grays" because the "SQL" at the end doesn't help disambiguate from anything else that starts with "postgre"
Do you say "URL" as "You are ell" or as "Earl?"

I'm pretty sure PostgreSQL is intended to be pronounced "post-gress-q-l", given its relationship to Ingres ("in-gress").
Never met anyone in real life that says sequel, well, except when referring to Microsoft products - perhaps a US thing? Another weird one I noticed is some people pronounce GIF as jiff, rather than giff.
The question is, how do you spell NoSQL? :)
