What is an sqrl?
 
I've asked twice in another thread and been ignored both times. So would someone please tell me what an sqrl is because Google turns up nothing. Thanks.

eyeomegasquared 09-14-12 05:23 PM

Oh. It's a bike. I was starting to think it might be a slang term for a girlfriend.

That's wrong. A sqrl is what you do when you pop the front end up over little bumps. Like, "Man, I didn't sqrl and now I got a pinch flat."

"A" sqrl -- it starts with a consonant.

I'm with himespau, and I want to see the end of this, because I know you'll just ask again, and nobody wants that. Sqrl=girl, and sqrlfriend=girlfriend. If you had read a few pages of any long-standing thread, you really should have been able to pick up on context. Not very hard.

Yeah, I give up on knowing what sqrl means. There is too much misinformation. But I read it aloud as a sequence of letters: S-Q-R-L. So according to section 10.9 of the Chicago Manual of Style, it is proper to use the article "an" rather than "a" for preceding sqrl.

From CMoS:
10.9“A,” “an,” or “the” preceding an abbreviation

When an abbreviation follows an indefinite article, the choice of a or an is determined by the way the abbreviation would be read aloud. Acronyms are read as words and are rarely preceded by a, an, or the (“member nations of NATO”), except when used adjectivally (“a NATO initiative”). Initialisms are read as a series of letters and are often preceded by an article (“member nations of the EU”). See 10.2; see also 7.44.
