M MustISO Lifer Oct 9, 1999 11,928 12 81 Apr 26, 2014 #9 Sounds like "squid". GWID is how I pronounce it. I used to say "Goo id". Either is probably fine.

destrekor Lifer Nov 18, 2005 28,799 359 126 Apr 26, 2014 #20 I don't know if I'd pronounce it or just say the letters. I'd probably go with the squid sound. If it was just GUI, I'd say gooey.
