| 03:56 | <@thalass> | Do people actually say "GUI" as "gooey", or am I just seeing a small subset of humans all of a sudden? |
| 03:58 | <&ToxicFrog> | Yes, they do. |
| 03:58 | <&ToxicFrog> | I've never heard anyone actually say "gee ewe eye" |
| 03:58 | <~Vornicus> | It's always been "gooey" from everyone I've ever heard say it |
| 03:59 | <~Vornicus> | With the rare exception of someone who's seeing the acronym for the first time |
| 04:03 | <@Namegduf> | I tend to say G-U-I. For some reason I've always found it kind of unpleasant and unintuitive to pronounce acronyms as anything other than the letters. |
| 04:03 | <@Namegduf> | I do the same for S-Q-L. |
| 04:17 | <~Vornicus> | One of our clients does training for industrial safety stuff |
| 04:18 | <~Vornicus> | one of the courses they teach is called "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response", HAZWOPER. |
| 04:18 | <~Vornicus> | For about a month, my boss thought when I used it as an example I was making shit up and talking like a cat on the internet |
| 04:19 | <~Vornicus> | ...he didn't even bother questioning it. |
| 04:25 | <@thalass> | Huh. |
| 04:26 | <@thalass> | In my experience anything shorter than four letters is said letter-by-letter. *shrugs* |
| 04:27 | <&ToxicFrog> | It my experience, if it has vowels, it gets pronounced. |
| 04:27 | <&ToxicFrog> | And sometimes even if it doesn't. |
| 04:35 | <~Vornicus> | at sikorsky the primary document describing the comanche was the Primary Weapon System Specification or PWSS "Pee-wiss" |

| 05:18 | < [R]> | Really dislike it when people try and make IT acronyms pronouncable, especially when the result is some other tech. Eg: SQL as "sequel" |

| 17:48 | <@Wizard> | [R]: Mostly it just helps make speech less awkward |
| 17:48 | <@Wizard> | My favourite one, though, is that in Finnish IT circles |
| 17:48 | <@Wizard> | MySQL is referred to as muesli |
| 17:54 | < [R]> | It introduces innacuracies. |
| 17:55 | < [R]> | Esp since the people most likely to do it are already unlikely to use the correct term to begin with. |
| 17:55 | < [R]> | Adding more indirection to that is horrible. |
| 18:19 | <@Wizard> | "Esp since the people most likely to do it are already unlikely to use the correct term to begin with." - What do you mean? |

| 18:22 | < [R]> | People assume certain things are involved when they're not and refer to those extras by name. I haven't done IT support in a while, but that's the main annoyance I have when I do do it. |
| 18:25 | <@Wizard> | I still don't understand the point being made, but righto |
