Yeah, for some reason, a lot of Americans have a tendancy to pronounce y like long i, and vowels in words ending with n get almost dropped. Of course, in the Southern states, _they_ strey-etch their vowels all out of shape! I have/had relatives in Texas, so...lol!
Y :)

So how would you pronounce it?

Sorry, folks, I meant we pronounce 'i' followed by a vowel like long 'i', not 'y'!

Y :)
