    What is the proper pronunciation for GUID? 1) goo-id like fluid 2) gwid like squid? I have always said and heard gwid but at my new job they say goo-id and it sounds funny. Makes me laugh every time.

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

    Inside COM, Rogerson, Microsoft Press ISBN 1-57231-349-8, top of page 112: Pronounced goo-id to rhyme with druid. Not sure what the geoduck stuff is about though?!
