Huh? You find "Dee-Em" easier to say than "Jee-Em"? Or you find "Duhn-juhn-mas-tuhr" easier to say than "Gaym-mas-tuhr"?
How's it easier?
Is it Dungeon Master or Game Master?

"So where's the Jim?"
"The Jim?"
"Yeah, where's the Jim? When is the game going to start?"
"The Jim?"
"Yeah, Jim... G-M? Game-Master? Get it?"
"Oooooooooh! I understand now, your a sissy boy."
"Umm... Well I am a frail goth vampire player and I don't want you to break me like a twig, so, yeah, I guess I am."

DM almost always.
Only use GM if the real DM is a sissy and obvious non-Kryptonian.
WHat the hell did I jusy say?

hrmm...
DM in my group, all the way.
This current conversation reminds me of how we talk about drow.
If the drow is being roleplayed true to form, and isn't being gimped out badly, we pronounce it as it is supposed to be (how now, dark drow), but if someone wants to play a chatoric good drow ranger named Drizzt Do'Eagan(seriously), then we use the gimped pronunciation (eat crow, dark drow).
Its a pretty good distinction, much like the "sissy" GM.

I played with one guy who liked to be called the Game Operations Director. Actually, he liked us to use the acronym.

Listen here all you uniform conforming hacks. It is GM, yea baby, I said GM. Nobody else who voted for GM had the guts to post it LOUD and post it PROUD. GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM GM
I can picture you little sissies dancing around in your too toos "Look at me, I am a pretty DM" (which if figure is just short for dumb)

Well I voted for something else as my most commonly played games Tribe 8 and Blue Planet use Weaver and Moderator repsectively.
The name is not that important but if I had a preference it would be GM as I find it more neutral and less game specific. I hate it when a game comes along and has to make its own stamp by renaming the GM something like DM
My personal favourite would probably be The Hollyhock God from Nobilis or Eminence Grise in Agone as they are both IC and OOC terms.
