    I'd never heard "wee-fee" either, until I worked call center tech support for AT&T U-Verse. In the time I worked there I heard every possible wrong pronunciation of every technological term, in every imaginable dialect. People.

    Oh, another completely useless gocubs thread.

    Literally, have never heard someone pronounce it wee-fee. Pretty sure you can get your ass beat for that.

    "Wee fee" if I'm being an ass. "Why fi" is the correct way to say it.
