Godlord Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 @Uncyclopedia:> I used to say G.U.I back in the day but then I realised the computing world actually pronounces it Gooey.Really, if you pronounce it like the latter, you will sound like an idiot who doesn't know the English language properly.Yours faithfully S.J.R. van Schaik.

saadhamza Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 My computer teacher pronounced it Gooey. He was an idiot. G.U.I sounds right, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 @S.J.R.:> 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./thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw a word spelled 'hud' you would pronounce it like that. For SQL, you just have to say the letters because there's no other way. For GUI, you also have to say the letters because what kind of sound does UI make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
