I took a database class in college where the instructor insisted on "SQL". He'd worked for IBM's SEQUEL (http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020522.htm) group and had been involved with both the SQL and SEQUEL (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=811515) standard/docs, so he had to differentiate between them. He used "S-Q-L" for the language, "IBM Sequel" for the commercial product, and "The SEQUEL paper" to refer to the ACM doc. That seemed reasonable to me, so I stayed with that usage.
