dunno where to put this but there are GUI's in software hehe


how do you pronounce GUI? i heard someone say it like (gooey) and though it sound bad like that. i just say (gee-you-eye) and dont really say it as a word but just letters.
 
definately GOOEY!

i've never heard anyone pronounce it by the letters.... always as a word
 
this reminds me of WYSIWYG, many people pronounce it Wizzy Wig
 
GUI = 'gooey,' I don't know if it's right, but that's what my friends and all my professors and I call it. G U I just isn't as smooth.

CMOS = sea moss. Emphasis on 'moss'
 
I take the cheating route and refer to it as an interface :)

i'm a gooey person as well.

i say sea moss but with emphasis on sea, while we're at it, bios = by uhs (uh is really a schwa)

also, how do you say char, as in the primitive character type? when i first saw it, i read it like care, like the first syllable of character, but my cs prof says char like charcoal. i suppose by actual spelling charcoal char is correct. just for some reason i thought to myself care and didn't feel any other way because i hadn't actually heard anyone speak the word before.

i'm the other way around, i used to pronounce it like charcoal, but i now say care. i think that because it in fact comes from the word character, the correct pronunciation is actually care.

so, keeping w/cuemasterfl's syntax:

CHAR: "Care"

and i say bios just like cuemasterfl, with the hard Oh sound, like osmOSis or pOSt.
 
all we need now is the hooked on phonics monkey??

i take it to a strange step. although, i know the pronunciations of all the words (the correct ones). there is a time when i use individual letters. e.g. there are two isa's.

isa=industry standard architecture
isa=instruction set architecture

i use an order of importance. since the set architecture is more important. i will give individual letters. when talking about the bus its less important so i say / i - zah /.
 
I just say the letters for GUI, but most of the time I just say UI and exclude the G (what kind of interface doesn't involve graphics anyway), or I will just say interface :)
 
Say "Guh". Say "You". Say "Oui". Say "Guh-you-oui". Now say it really fast. Take it easy on the 'uh'. Like "gooey" said by a person in tech support. (Not native english speaker)
 
err what I meant was that a Graphical User Interface is the same thing as a User Interface (but a User Interface is not always the same as a GUI), but saying Graphical is just more descriptive I guess.
