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.

It is how my CS professors pronounce them and they told me that's mainly how the industry pronounces it currently.

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.
