GUID Survey
-
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. :^)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

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.

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. :)

No, they don't. Not even in Boston.

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.

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.

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 got fire wrong on a spelling test when I moved to Texas from Wisconsin. I was sure she was saying far. :-D

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.
