BIOS sounds good. It’s got that cold hard logic stamped steel ring to it.
“We’ve got the update the BIOS”. Okay. Everyone understands that.
The BIOS boots before the OS. Got it.
“Make sure to configure your UEFI”
“My what?”

I like UEFI because of the way it sounds. I bet most non-native English speakers agree on it’s pronunciation.
When describing the boot process, bios. When configuring some CPU or memory setting, bios. When talking about some specific boot menu config, uefi.
Uwee feee
Doesn’t a UEFI provide a system for basic input and output?
So by that metric, isn’t a UEFI, by default, also a BIOS?
I mean, very technically speaking, it’s a set of standards for booting and it doesn’t give a shit how platform init is implemented. “a UEFI” usually means the whole thing, so yes. Usually.
Lately I’ve been bending people’s names in cursive writing style out of coathanger wire.

Nah. For me that was the “version” of bios in which I could finally use my mouse to select stuff
