Gooey sounds really... stupid tongue

I mean, no offence to anyone, but it makes you sound computer illiterate wink

^lol computer illiterate? I don't see how - if anything, that would be computer literate. surprised

Anyway, pretty much everybody i know in IT say it like gooey. Even my teachers, Windows classes, Linux classes, Networking classes, Security classes, the list goes on - they all say it like gooey... Typing "gooey" is even weird of course, cause when I type GUI, I assumed everyone was aware of it being pronounced "gooey" ::shrugs::

maybe it's just natural to me ^^ it's like GNU.. you know? We all know it's an acronym, just like GUI, but it's just one of those IT things. Do we say that as G-N-U (each letter), or pronounce it as a word Gnu? We say the word. You know.
