How to pronounce FYI?

[Auspice]

My coworker and I are having a debate on this. It's like the new GIF vs JIF argument.

[Auspice]

...lol it has a line limit.

Third option is: 'Fuck you, it should always be Eff-Why-Eye'

[Wretched]

Who the fuck calls it Fwee or fwy?! Is it too late for eugenics?

[Arkandel]

Why are we pronouncing it?

[Rinel]

I have never so much as encountered people pronouncing it as an acronym.

F-Y-I.

[Deleted]

Anyone who doesn't pronounce it Eff-Why-Eye is an idiot and I would immediate disassociate from them, Scientology style.

[Ghost]

It's an acronym.

F.Y.I.
B.T.W.
O.M.G.
C.I.A.
W.O.D....
...at okayMaybeNotWoD (OGs call it "Whad")

Just say the fuckin letters.

[saosmash]

I've never pronounced it any way other than eff-why-eye but why on earth are you giving a Y a W sound???? WTF is going ON in your office?

Also, this is the capstone argument for GIF or JIFF.

GIF stands for graphic interchange format. It's an acronym. I don't care if the creator of the format calls it a jiff; he's a dope and knows damned well he didn't create the jraphic interchange format

Same goes for SQL. Stop calling it squirrel, people augh.

I will state I have always said it FYI, but my coworker was messaging me and brought it up as 'fwee' (as in its how he imagines it to be pronounced) and it led me to think hmm. Well. How would I go about this...

@Ghost SQL is pronounced as 'sequel' tyvm

[Ghost]

@Ganymede I do enjoy saying "Bee-Tee-Dubs" instead of "Bee-Tee-Double-U", by the way.

Because I'm quirky.

Per Wikipedia:
SQL (/ˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/ (About this soundlisten) S-Q-L,[4] /ˈsiːkwəl/ "sequel"; Structured Query Language)[5][6][7][8] is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).

Wikipedia says it's sequel, so yes. Stop fuckin saying squirrel. Chamberlin and Boyce didnt create squirrel in 1974; They created sequel. You know who DID create squirrel? The Ambrahamic GOD, and if you credit Chamberlin and Boyce with creating squirrels then you're a non-God-fearing heathen and are bound for the lake of fire.

So...please say S.Q.L. or sequel. For your own sakes.

Clarification, were you asking: "Are you such a boss M.C. and drop such good rhymes that it's stupid"?

Then, yes, I'm really really really stupid.
My rhymes stab you in the heart like I'm Cupid.
I bet you concluded,
When I dream its so lucid
My attacks are concluded
And NEVER diluted.
