This is common in other languages. Pronouncing letters in English is especially tedious. "You ar el" is so oppressive to say compared to "oo rr luh" as you might in a Romance language. And both are worse than "uhrl".

Also, we don't got a problem with "bios" for BIOS. :p (Yet few people seem to use "yufi" for UEFI.)

Yufi sounds too much like "Roofie", which is what I call a Yufi that has network connectivity and is hosted on a machine with an appropriate network card.

Friends don't let friends compute on Roofied computers... Or worse, roofie their own systems!
