I'm more of a dubyoo-ay-ess-dee kind of guy

I’m a fan of “waz-duh”.

I've been playing PC games for 25 years and this is the first time I have ever seen anyone even imply people pronounce WASD as a word. I'm not saying it's wrong (or even worse) but....yeah, I've only ever heard it spelled out

W-A-S-D for sure. Can't believe the things people are trying to do these days, "omm-figuh"! /s

I spent first 10 years of my life spelling it out, then heard it as a word and it stuck immediately. Unpopular opinion it seems.

It's definitely easier to say

Wazz-D is the norm from everything I've heard, seen, done. But then again, I still say mana as man-uh, not maw-nuh. Still dunno which is right for that one.

But gif is gif not jiff. At least we got that one mostly nailed down.

It’s clearly wazdee. But what about Ezdef?
