DrNova Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Lenton:> The Americans pronounce it gooey, however normal people pronounce it as G.U.I.Thats just a stupid comment. Everyone I'VE every known has said G-U-i, I've never heard an idiot call it a gooey. The fact that its all caps makes it clear to anyone with a shred its an acronym. No one calls the CIA seea or the FBI fbee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I know several IT people irl and they call it gooey. I even heard it mentioned on Discovery Channel in a documentary of Apple and it was pronounced gooey too.I still prefer to pronounce it G.U.I. though.

renzo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 People go back and forth when it comes to pronouncing acronims, NASA, NBA, and PETA are all good examples of how people can't make up their mind on how to pronounce it.Just call it whatever the fuck you want.

Godlord Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It depends on whether a given abbreviation consists purely out of pronounceable syllables or not. In case they do, you may pronounce them like an actual word. In case they don't, you ought to pronounce each letter individually. Therefore G.U.I. should be pronounced gee - you - aye rather than gooey (since the English language doesn't know the proper sound for the ui-digraph, as in languages where that digraph is known, the sound used in "gooey" is totally off).Yours faithfully S.J.R. van Schaik.

Godlord Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Admiral:> Now you must go on vocaroo and give us the correct way of saying it!In the English language there is no correct way of saying that digraph, because the vowels have been shifted as opposed to other languages. On top of that, that digraph is useless in the English language as there are very few (potentially none) words that would actually do use the digraph.Yours faithfully S.J.R. van Schaik.

Broojo02 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I used to say G.U.I back in the day but then I realised the computing world actually pronounces it Gooey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
