I'd been saying BIOS for decades before UEFI became the norm. Yes, I know it's no longer BIOS. No, I don't care. As far as I am concerned, anyone pedantic enough to nitpick about it is doing me a favor. They are identifying themselves as someone I don't want to be around.
When it does matter, my pronunciation is "you-fee"

/uefi/ in my language
I like UEFI because of the way it sounds. I bet most non-native English speakers agree on it's pronunciation.
Lately I've been bending people's names in cursive writing style out of coathanger wire.
The last name I made, I did not post. Why? I have no clue how to pronounce it..
Ogbuefi
Nah. For me that was the "version" of bios in which I could finally use my mouse to select stuff
