UEFI stands for unified extensible firmware interface. Most people know about BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and to my knowledge pronounce it universal as 'by-ohs'. I've looked around for the pronunciation of UEFI and have seen it pronounced:
- Yoo-fee
- Ooh-fee
- U-E-F-I
- Ü-fee
What is the most commonly used pronounciation and the originally intended pronunciation, if it differs from the common pronunciation. (Such as in .gif—/ɡɪf/ vs. /dʒɪf/)
