How do you pronounce GUID?

[John Connor]

I have been saying Gilled. But there is no L. How on earth do you pronounce GUID?

 

[Colt45]

gee yoo aye dee

 

[John Connor]

Geo-ad?

 

[lxskllr]

I pronounce very few acronyms. It's a stupid custom that never should have started,

 

[DaveSimmons]

"Globally unique ID"

 

[Soundmanred]

GUID

 

[SsupernovaE]

gooey-dee

...which sounds gross...

 

[Printer Bandit]

 

[MustISO]

Sounds like "squid". GWID is how I pronounce it. I used to say "Goo id". Either is probably fine.

 

[sdifox]

Goo ID

[Ichinisan]

"Globally unique identifier"

FTFY (you were missing a few syllables there)

 

[Ichinisan]

I've never understood why people assume that initialisms are *always* meant to be pronounced.

I remember people in my A+ certification classes trying to pronounce IDE and PCI.

Why not CPU? HDD?

 

[Carson Dyle]

gee yoo aye dee

This.

 

[_Rick_]

Gooid.
Because I was raised German :-/
Gyooid otherwise

 

[pete6032]

Jee you eye dee.

 

[nickbits]

Goo ID

Not sure if you mean goo-id or goo-I-D but I say goo-id.

 

[Murloc]

Goo ee d (short vowels)

same as Squid.
The free dictionary agrees with me.

 

[IronWing]

I don't believe I ever have pronounced GUID.

Guild of Undying Illuminati Deceivers?

Gallium Undercurrent Interception Device?

 

[destrekor]

I don't know if I'd pronounce it or just say the letters.

I'd probably go with the squid sound.

If it was just GUI, I'd say gooey.

 

[Mixolydian]

Goo-Id. (short I)

 

[drebo]

gwid...like squid. That's the only way to properly pronounce it.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Guid-o

 

[sdifox]

Not sure if you mean goo-id or goo-I-D but I say goo-id.

Id as in the word.

 

[Daverino]

Goo - id (like Wizard of Id)
