GUI Or Gooey?

[qliveur]

gee you eye.

Yup.

 

[Joseph F]

G.U.I. gooey doesn't sound right to me.

 

[Vic Vega]

The only people who use the term "GUI" are Linux nerds. 🙂

 

[geno]

Ugh at "gee you eye" morans.

This. I have never in my life ever heard someone spell it out loud 😵

 

[BAMAVOO]

I have been in IT for 15+ years and it is GOOEY. If someone ever spelled it out they would probably get smacked.

 

[PottedMeat]

G.U.I.

I remember hearing 'gooey' once from an optics prof in school. I was like huh for a second then ohhhh ok. G.U.I. I heard all the time.

 

[Possessed Freak]

I said Roffling once, made people lol. But it is gooey.

 

[Wyndru]

I've only heard it pronounced gooey, even by professors.

 

[Fingolfin269]

I think if someone said G U I in my presence they might get slapped.

Gooey.

 

[clamum]

Don't think I ever heard someone spell it out (graduated with a computer science degree). Gooey ftw.

Gooey.

Funny, I almost punched someone in the face for saying gooey. Makes you sound mentally handicapped.

Obviously you don't actually work/study in the tech field. I have never heard anyone with a modicum of technical nous spell it out.

 

[Arcadio]

It's gooey.

Gooey.

You're right, I don't. Back in college I had a roommate who majored in computer science. He corrected himself from gooey to GUI with a little bit of influence from me.
Seriously though, you sound like a child/tard saying gooey.

Meh, we have lots of cool "kiddy" terms in IT/computer science, it keeps it fun to talk about. Splat, bang, wizzywig, gooey.

And we have childish fun with our code.

if (socket == null) {
    ArgumentNullException up = new ArgumentNullException("socket");
    throw up; // he he
}

Gooey, but I also say User Interface, or just UI. The G is kind of redundant.

A command prompt is an example of UI (user interface), but it's not a Graphical User Interface.

 

[preslove]

A command prompt is an example of UI (user interface), but it's not a Graphical User Interface.

And a command prompt is a very antiquated UI, at least to normal users. Most UIs today are GUIs.

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

i got tricked. i picked the GUI option because i thought this was a spelling argument.

i thought to myself what idiot spells "gooey" when talking about a graphical user interface?

Depends. If you're explaining something to a Linux user, either is a valid form of input, and you might have to explain a procedure both ways, to give the user a choice that's more comfortable for them.

 

[slayer202]

really, gooey is the popular way? I wouldn't have guessed that, weird

 

[Eli]

I say G-U-I.

 

[dpodblood]

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.

 

[fatpat268]

gee you eye.
