The New Acronym

Im my last post I mentioned the pronunciations of acronyms and initialisms, and I just wanted to make mention of the pronunciation of DUI¹. My brother was over and happend to say this as ['dui] instead of the form I am more familiar with, [di.ju.aʲ]. My brother keeps his language very up to date, so this might represent a sample of some newspeak. I neglected to ask him about is, as we were sidetracked with other business, but I'll be sure to get on it.

Note ¹: It just occured to me that ['dui] could have been meant as DWI as well, and maybe I misheard him saying something more like [dwi] or possibly [dᵊ'wi]. A full investigation awaits.
