That annoying situation when your fellow German school comrades and your programming teacher misspell GUI and Hack.
Instead of JEE-YOU-EYE they spell it as if it is a single word "gui". Instead of the normal way of spelling hack, they pronounce the a in the word hack weirdly. Take the pronunciation of Hackfleisch for example. Cut this word into two words. "Hack" and "Fleisch". Keep "Hack" and throw "Fleisch" away.
And there you go. That's how they spell fucking Hack.
If you take an English word or even an abbreviation, let it be fucking English and not German, you fucking retards!

    GUI as a single word (if pronounced in a English accent) sounds cute.

    Wait there are people who say every letter by itself? I thought gooey was the default way of saying it? πŸ˜‚

    Representing America, we all say "gooey". Or of you're sale and marketing, you say "single pane of glass"

    Did you mean saying or pronouncing instead of spelling?

    Ja, here in Texas we say gooey. Don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce each letter. Don't be hard on your Genossen (pronounced Ye-nossen... 😁)because they aren't wrong.

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- Soooooo, you are saying ar-ee-es-tee or representational state transfer? Not REST? (There are thousands more, don't say this is the one exception you make ;-)

    In Poland we say GUI like a "goo-ee". Simpler this way. However, for UI, we either use "oo-ee" or "you-why".

    I also use GUI als a single word, it's commonly used, rolls of the tongue, and generally accepted.

    Hack "hak" or "hek" whatever even....

    I don't see the problem, as long as you know what they're talking about... :p

    @NoMad Actually he might avoid the gif-battles by saying gee-eye-eff :-D

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- no, some abbreviations (acronyms) are pronounced as a single word. It's common that the words are chosen so that the acronym is easy to pronounce and easy to remember. Wikipedia gives NATO and laser as easy examples.

    I would recommend you to take your text to your English teacher for advice.

    Stop being that lazy and ignorant, moron(s).

    @fordtaunus that's the exception I make ;-)

    @EV-EV I also pronounce it as open+gee-el.

    @xewl you gotta watch some ccc videos in German (maybe with subtitles) to get the feeling of how annoying it can get

    @fordtaunus @NoMad Gee-Eye-Ef

    @NoMad giraffe is pronounced with g in many languages instead of the dΕΎ in English. For example in German. (I don't remember where you are from even if I could know that)

    @NoMad the letters alone tell little about pronunciation in English, meaning that a letter can mean many different sounds. I find it funny that people in this rant describe how they pronounce GUI by using all the other letters than what's in the abbreviation. So to say GUI you actually say gooey? Why are there no u or i in the form you actually say?

    /This conversation is so dumb to me/

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- I'm not easily annoyed by pronouncations, or in general. I do watch a lot of screencasts of foreign speakers.. Germans, Indians, French, Danish, ... as long as I get what they're saying or trying to explain, I'm fine with however they bring me the knowledge they wanted to share ;) Schmetterling!!!!
