I'm neither, I refuse to pronounce acronyms if it doesn't make sense to do so.

Same thing with 'gooey' for GUI, except I hate that even more because that straight up elicits feelings of disgust, I don't want anything gooey anywhere near any electronics

I've literally never heard GUI said as "gee ewe eye" before.

You could just say UI, avoids the gooey phobia and sounds less weird than g u i.
