I would hope that nobody ever pronounced it Gooey, but I know it's not the case.

A large chunk of my instructors pronounced it gooey... Drove me nuts.

Same here.

With the caveat that I've mostly *spoken* about GUIs in German, living in Germany as I do. So my English contact with GUIs has primarily been through the written word (documentation, emails, etc.).

Never mind pronunciation. What the heck has Donald Duck's family structure got to do with Computer Competencies. (Yes; I know it's intended as a hint. The question is broken.)

I guess they wanted to make sure people got the "Huey, Dewey & Louie" joke. Kids today don't know dumb-diddly-doo. :-D

I'm with you. How else would you pronounce it?

Every instructor and tech I've ever dealt with pronounced it so.

'Course, they're all Canadians, and we all know how we butcher the language. :-P
