        It makes 0 sense, there aren’t enough letters to make saying it like a word viable.

        Look at NASA you don’t need to introduce any other vowels or violate letter pronunciation rules to say NASA as a word

        ‘Sequel’ came about from a quarrel in the 80s, SQL was originally named Sequel, but due to a trademark dispute with another company it got changed to SQL shortly after release. Said company isn’t even in business anymore. The whole pronunciation thing was just a form of protest that’s long since passed and most don’t even know that’s why it was done.

        I have no idea where Gooey started, but it’s the same thing, to get Gooey from GUI you have to violate pronunciation rules. Plus, it’s just a gross thing to associate with computer things, who wants anything computer related thing to be “Gooey”

        Do you pronounce TCP as TeaCup? How about HTTPS as Hetips?
