GUI... When ure thinking to your self... 'Damn I hate that GUI' or summink... How do you image in it.. Do you say G.U.I or something else...
I say G-why
:P
Finnish is a wonderful language in this sense.. I just say gui.
How can u just say GUI :O
Oh G-why Oh G-why ... He swallowed that.. F-why... Prehaps he'll D-why...
BTW.. look theres only 2 mins betwwen these posts :P
When I pronounce GUI it sounds like gooey.
It's standardly pronounced "Gooey"
Gee - You - I
i hate when people say gooey :|
g - gravitiy
u - ultimate
i - iron
wait... thats G-a-y ...
lemme do it again:
g-gravity
u-ustash, Oompa loompa, or n00b
i - Yshtvan
Take the easy way and say.... Graphical User Interface!
I hear mods's song GUI in my head everytime I see GUI.
It takes some time, but it's worth it in the end.
In spanish, the "U" between the "G" and "Is" and "E", makes the "G" sound "liquid"... To explain you how it sounds in English, we could say it's something like "Ghee". :)

Likewise with German. "Gui" spoken with a German inflection sounds like "gooey" in English.
Gee You Eye
Why would anyone pronounce an abbreviation of 3 full words as a word...
Like calling BBC 'BaBaCa'.
I say G.U.I I've never known how to say it. But when i see BRB written by somone i always say birb. and for gifs i don't say 'jif' i say gif! Like Dues Ex my friend says it some funny way when he said it i said wtf?!?!? thats not how you say it. Well i've been talking too much....

The Beeb :P
I don't like saying acronyms as actual words. People usually look at me funny when I say brb and gui as berb or gooey, so I just say the letters. You don't hear people say "Ussah" for USA.
GUI - Gee You I
Gif - Giff (like gift without the 't')

Gee. You. Eye.
I agree with RE.
I didn't even know people had difficulty pronouncing it until I saw this thread.
i say gooey, which i thought and still find right
as for gifs... i thought everyone called it a jif, not gif, like gift. not until my second year of college in Flash class. I felt like an idiot, but i dont think ill break my lock on calling it jif. unless i get an art job and everyone starts calling me 'peanutbutter' or something.

Duh.. Its not BaBaCa Its Bibick... Tut Tut...
like Bi-bick? It is really hard showing how you intend something to be pronounced when you are talking to an idiot (me) or you can't spell like a dictionary.
