GEE (G)- YOU (U) - EYE (I) or GOOEY

GZ · May 28, 2012

My wife and I had were having a little debate... I had mentioned that I was trying to create a simple GUI (GEE-YOU-EYE) using Visual Basic and Visual C++... She (the programmer) had to "correct" me and told me "What?... It's GOOEY"...

So, I did a quick google and found no discernable answer, so I figured I'd ask you all here...

Is it "GEE (G)- YOU (U) - EYE (I)" or "GOOEY"?

They are both the same.... You just learn to care less what others say :lolg:

I normally use GUI(G-U-I)...

I have multiple professors who will use one or the other but they are all talking about the same thing...

The only time I think naming really matters is when you are talking about a specific thing such as SQL...

However, even with that I use both SQL(S-Q-L) and sequel depend on the context.

Just stay true to your roots... people will know they are one and the same :grin1:

This is just a topic of debate between my wife and I... I will always use the phonetic spelling to describe it... She will always be gooey! :lol: We are very competitive!

is BASH(linux shell) BASH or B-A-S-H? :lol:

GZ · May 29, 2012

Yeah.... That's just "bash"!

What about MBAM(malware bytes)

Its M-BAM to me :grin1:

I prefer saying "Graphical User Interface" so there is no misunderstanding by you [somewhat] younger guys. :lol:

Laxer · May 29, 2012

You prefer graphical user interface because you would misinterpret G.U.I. for something naughty.... :roll eyes (sarcasti

jcgriff2 · May 29, 2012

I'm not old enough to know what you could possibly mean.

In the words of my physics teacher...

See this?

That's the BS flag, and you are the one waving it.

I thought one of your kids hijacked your account for a minute!

jcgriff2 · May 29, 2012

Thanks for letting me know.... Chase, 11, was playing games earlier.

He must have posted...

I'd say it doesn't matter, unless you do it out of context ( as the others have mentioned ).

jcgriff2 · May 29, 2012

I always called it G--U--I

Corrine · May 29, 2012

I've always pronounced "GUI" as gooey, most likely because that was what was used at work. Conversely, I've always said S-Q-L and M-BAM.

jcgriff2 · May 29, 2012

1. How do you pronounce the President of the United States?
2. Director of the CIA?

GZ · May 29, 2012

...erm ... Obama and Mr. Petraeus...

It is definitely "Gooey" traditionally sorry to say lol. Wife is right (Damn it hey? hahah) I call it G-U-I instead of Gooey sometimes as well as I know it's what most others call it, but that's incorrect. Probably more accepted now that it's become more standard for people to call it G-U-I over Gooey though.

GEE (G)- YOU (U) - EYE (I) or GOOEY

"GEE-YOU-EYE" or "GOOEY"

GEE-YOU-EYE

GOOEY

Doesn't really matter!
