Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

Last night I was listening to the episode "A Monikor for Your Monitor" when near the end one guy asked about the pronunciation of the word. After checking different sources, Grant advised that /hɪˈdʒɛməni/ is the right one and that some dictionaries had recorded /ˈhɛdʒəmoʊni/ as well, and that the other, /hɪˈgɛməni/, suggested by the guy's friends might evoke laughter if used in a formal situation.

Both of my dictionaries, Longman Advanced Dictionary of American English and Longman Pronunciation Dictionary (By J. C. Wells), have recorded that last alternative as well as the other two.
