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 -'ghif' vs.'jhif')

2This question would probably invite opinion-based answers, but what it asks for is statistics on usage or a similar factual answer (which may not fit within the scope of the site in terms of subject matter). @matan provided exactly such a fact based, direct answer, quoting from a reference. – fixer1234 – 2014-09-27T18:38:41.780

@random isn't it english pronunciation of a software/hardware? Assuming that this question wasn't 'opinion-based' where would it have been best suited for? – Bennett Yeo – 2014-10-04T19:29:17.883

But yes, asking about pronunciation would be like asking where stickers should be placed on a laptop – random – 2014-10-04T20:05:22.330
