So when I read Se or Ne, I don't think "extroverted sensing and extroverted intuition." I read them as See and Nee.
So..
Fee
Fye
Tee
Tye
See
Sye
Nee
Nye

Anyone else? ... :p

Even though I know it's not how they're pronounced (aka the way DisneyGeek does it), I pronounce it like "Fee" (Fi), Fey/Feh (Fe) etc. Never told anyone cuz I thought it was just me who knowingly pronounced them different lol.

Haha I feel like this could cause a lot of confusion.

I say:
nye for Ni
enn-ee for Ne
tie for Ti
tee ee for Te
fee for Fe
eff eye for Fi
ess eye for Si
see for Se

I guess my shadow's I say by letter and for main I say by a combined sound, probably because I say NiFeTiSe to new INFJ's/interested in a lot. :x

RE-EDIT: When solely talking about functions alone I will say the letters individually.

This. Which ends up sounding like what DisneyGeek described. If I'm actually saying them out loud I sometimes say extroverted feeling, introverted thinking, etc.

Oh it does, I even confuse myself half the time. But I have no one to talk to about MBTI outside of forums because I can't get any of my friends interested in it. So in the end it doesn't do much harm ;)

In my head, They actually sound the same. They all have the long eee sound, so Fe and Fi and "Fee", Si and Se are "See"

Talking to others, I'll either say the full name or spell it out.

I say the full names prefixed by the system, e.g. Myer's Brigg's Type Indicator Introverted Feeling, with a full on Southern accent while making air quotes.
