Regardless of what the official pronunciation is, people say OH-ESS-ECKS all of the time. That’s a fact, just as people say Mizzuruh and Fujickle despite different pronunciations promulgated by authoritative sources.

And some people pronounce nuclear, "nukyuler," including a particular past President who shall go W'less. That doesn't make it correct.

Ignorance is it's own punishment. Thank God it's curable.

I remember a president before him that said nu-kee-er. They didn’t make much of it though, after all Jimmy Carter was sposed to be some sort of a nu-kee-er scientist or something.
