No one can pronounce it properly.
The way it's pronounced properly sounds stupid,
& the way it sounds right is wrong :-)
My favorite part is that it's right out in the
open next to my area - & everyone is always
asking me where it is....

Er ... yes, and yes. I've gotten used to one of the correct pronunciations (IIRC, there are three) but it still sounds somehow contrived and silly-ish (as do the others). Doesn't stop me from eating the stuff, of course ...
