    A words meaning and prononciation is collectively decided through usage.

    I agree. I know a ton of people that say it one way, and a ton of people who say it the other. At this point, like many English words in a similar scenario, both pronunciations are valid. I prefer to use the creator’s pronunciation, but I think saying it the other way is acceptable. At this point, everyone will know what you’re talking about regardless of pronunciation.
