Your original post tells us to pronounce it the way she says it, but doesn't actually show us how she says it.

Because I'm not her. You figured it out and found a video on your own, you clearly didn't need me. Why would I know better than her how to pronounce it?

How did you expect us to pronounce it correctly if we haven't heard her say it?

I didn't. I presumed that if someone cared enough, they would find an appropriate video; that presumption was proven correct. But I never expected anyone to do anything, certainly not to get so incredibly butt-hurt by mild sarcasm.
