| You can say both but many in the professional world call it a gooey. |

I do both. . .
Well if you think about it no one says Yooey when saying UI
Whenever someone says UI they say You-Eye so shouldn't GUI be Gee-You-Eye
Idk doesn't matter. |

I have an irrational hatred towards pronouncing acronyms.
I also have an irrational hatred towards "backronyms". |

It's GUI, not "gooey". Gee You Eye. Anyone who says gooey I consider stupid, no offense.
You don't say L U A, you say Lua (Looah). There is no exception with acronyms. |

If you wanna get down to business, google GUI.
In computing, a graphical user interface (GUI, sometimes pronounced "gooey" or "gee-you-eye") is a type of interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command ...
It's pronounced both. |

| It's not wrong, some people say it like that, it doesn't make them less good at what they do. |

| I don't think pronouncing acronyms is valid but whatever man, I guess it's up to the person. |

| You're right, in the end it really doesn't matter so long as people understand what you are talking about. |

| It's actually officially announced "My Ess Que Ell", but some people pronounce it "My Sequel", as well do I. |
