Here is the original thread.

> There definitely seems to be two camps on the issue. “Xxxxx” is properly pronounced “xxxxXxx” based on historical, linguistics, or other factual parameters. “Xxxxx” is pronounced “Xxxhxx” by 99% of people, so that’s the “proper” pronunciation.

> [@Wtf is so controversial about a thread about pronunciation of words](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wtf-is-so-controversial-about-a-thread-about-pronunciation-of-words/1019130):

> Jesus Christ. Aspenglow pick a fudging category I can discuss this
