GUID Survey

[ZurdoDev]

For my amusement I am curious how people pronounce GUID. Based on someone's joke last week I doubt this survey will go well because of accents. The joke was about knotsies (little knots) and Nazis. In American they rhyme but apparently in English (British) they don't so lots of people did not get the joke. Anyway, let's see how this goes. Vote if you dare. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Surveys/VoteForm.aspx?srvid=1482[^] NOTE: There is no bacon option so if that ruins your day just move along and don't vote. :)

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No they don't.

Perhaps you don't speak American? :) How do they not rhyme? Spell them phonetically in American.

I think I accidentally ruined your survey. I meant the first option but clicked the second one by mistake. And now the result of the survey is wrong. And will stay wrong. Sorry.

This sounds SO pretentious.

No way, nobody says it that way. :) However, that is better than Globally Unique Identifier.

Just vote again and it replaces it, I think. However, I have a feeling you are just kidding.

NAH-tsi

I switch between gwid and G.U.I.D., but I think I use gwid more often. A lot of people around me say goo-id though.

I say gwid but most people I have known say it goo-id. It sounds funny that way to me. Of course when I saw gwid they all laugh. :)

As opposed to NAW-tsi.

[ZurdoDev]

Which one do you pronounce that way? NA zis or NA tsies. It sounds like you are saying one you pronounce NA like nap and another you pronounce NAW like gnaw. Which is which?
