    This is how I am with “GUI”…I just call it Gee-you-eye. I finally went to a class on the subject for real and some people were calling it a “Gooey”…and I…no. Just fucking no. It’s not a “Gooey”.

      I had textbooks in college (25 years ago) that always had little blurbs about the acronyms and their pronunciation. GUI, we were instructed, was pronounced gooey. WYSIWYG is wiz-ee-wig, etc. It was on tests IIRC.
