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

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