    It does make sense (like squid). Though, I say goo-id.

    Plus for lazy people, you cut it down to one syllable with qwid :-D (the main reason I never adapted to goo-id!)

      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?

        I figured it out. You must be from Boston. That's not American. :) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nazi?s=t[^] Click the sound icon and hear how Nazi is pronounced. Now listen to knot, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/knot?s=ts[^] Nazis and knotsies rhyme in American.

            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. :)

            As it is a Scots word, it should be pronounced gyd. (As in "A Guid New Year tae yin an aw".)

                I GUID the button back onto my keyboard when it fell off. But it got GUI all over the place and I had to buy a new keyboard. :^)

                        Yeah, I was thinking that Charles Emerson Winchester III might pronounce it that way, but no one else would. I'm from Boston, but never heard it that way.

                            No, that one was the prepost. This is the post. Wow! Digging up the past. I'm turning into my wife. I can't remember who I told what to and when. I can't remember a few hours ago let alone last year. However, this post has a shiny survey so can it really be called a repost? I dare say no.

                              Of course not. Their accent is way too thick. Come on now. Did you even listen to the sound bytes? If you had, you'd see they rhyme.

                                          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. :)

                                          Embarrassingly, for some obscure reason, I have always called it GUI ID. Phonetically "gooey eye dee" Nothing to do with a Globally Unique Identifier but it is just how I originally and dyslexically read it as if it were GUIID. Just never gave it up after that. It isn't a word that I have to say and share with others so I always have just said it like that. If I was to change I would adopt "goo eye dee" as this sounds appropriate and is consistent with my original dyslexic effort.
