With Aplogies to both Bill Maher and John MacGregor:

New Rules for pronouncing Latin or any foreign words

1. Be the first person to say it. Even if wrong this gives you
Priority. Others will follow

2. Speak LOUDLY. Make sure everyone hears you.

3. Speak with Conviction. Do not hesitate or stumble.

In most cases people will adapt and those who object will look like
whiners.

Of course it helps if you do pronounce all the letters and in the
correct order. It is hard to accommodate an alternate pronunciation that
does not complete the basics of the English language.

And don't hold me to any of this. Best
Jim W.
