Gooie

I don’t know about you but I am sick of people pronouncing GUI as “gooey”. NO!! GUI is an abbreviation not an acronym! If you really want an acronym to use then I suggest Gooie or Graphical Object Oriented Intuitive Environment. There we go, if you say “gooey” I will assume you are talking about Gooie and not GUI since there is a minute difference between then which I will not go into but you should be aware of….

Edit: as mentioned Mr. Mac from The Decline helped develop the Gooie acronym.
