    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.

        No, I just knew they would support my claim, not yours. As they do.

              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.

                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. :^)

                  Interesting. A few comments have said the same but I have never heard anyone say it that way.

                    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.

                    Interesting. I'm from around Boston too and NAH-tsi doesn't sound out of place to me though I say it the other way. Then again nazis are not a common topic of discussion any more... unless you are a senator or congressman in DC where they compare each other to nazis all the time. :)

                            Well I listened to the sound bites and "knot" sounds like "nart" to me. I guess that means that it is similar to Nazi. Reminds me of a spelling test my son had at school some years back. We're English but live in Canada at the moment. The teacher was reading out words for the pupils to spell. He got a wrong mark for "tudor". Apparently the word was supposed to be "tutor" but for the life of me, they both sounded like "tudor" to me.

                                  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've never really thought of this one pronounced as a word.. after all, how many say FBI as 'efbye'/'fabye', or USA as 'you-saa' (ok, maybe Jar Jar would ;P ). But I suppose if you looked at it as GUI-D, it could be 'gooeied' (i.e. gooey-ed).
