How is GUI Olympics pronounced?

Published on May 17, 2004 By Rocky Nimda In WinCustomize Talk

Ok, after watching SDTV_GUIO_Week1.wmv, I have a question. How is GUI Olympics pronounced?
I always thought it would be pronounced Gooey Olympics. However, in the video I hear it pronounced: gee-you-eye Olympics.

By the way, there are some really nice skins over there...

Congrats to the winners of the first contest.

Good luck to the entrants of the rest of the competition.

Gooey, eey-rag, and one of my colleagues here (a biologist) says "beet-ah" (she''s English) - also says "cap-ILL-ary" instead of "CAP-ill-ary"

beet-ah

That's a respectable form of transportation here. Put a wife in front of it (wife-beater) and I'm dressed for taking the missus to the KFC for fine dining

Good one, Essencay! Lots of people in this neck of the woods drive a "wintah beetah" between December and April.

it's GUI and Gooey. It's GUI because it stands for Graphical User Interface and Gooey just because it's fun to say.

I tend to forget localized dialect doesn't always play well

I thought Frogboy would pronounce GUI Olympics by sounding something like..."RRRRiiBBBBiiiTT"
