This poll shouldn't be anywhere close to 70/30. This is a tech forum, damnit.

i say gooey.
i have a coworker who will pronounce "UI" as youee.
it kind of bugs me.
EDIT:
anyone who spells out GUI is just wrong, sorry.
<--- been working in software development field sine graduation
I work for a software company, and none of the programmers speak the letters G U I, they always pronounce it as gooey. Also SQL is pronounced sequel, and SCSI is pronounced scuzzy. We were even taught in school using those pronunciations.
I know, right? It should be closer to 100% for GUI, the correct way to say it. But then again I guess we have a lot of younger, less educated folk here.This poll shouldn't be anywhere close to 70/30. This is a tech forum, damnit.

The only people that I've ever heard say G.U.I. are marketing/sales folks, who apparently don't know any better. I've been in the electronic hardware/software business for over 30 years, and all the technical people I work with say gooey.
All the technical people you know haven't been laid in 30 years either. They apparently don't know any better than to use words like "gooey" and don't realize how nerdy it makes them.
