Everybody that I know pronounces it this way, but I could be wrong. If you could send me a bug report with evidence, I'd change it. I have long thought about a web site that contains mathematical pronounciations. A person could click to hear a native German speaker say Entscheidungsproblem, for example. I've never seen one, although I have seen a book online along those lines (written by a blind mathematician?).

On the topic of pronunciation, say, "beta", "eta", "zeta" — is the first vowel actually pronounced as "ei" in English, instead of just "e" (as in "bed")? "Mew" and "new" are actually a good approximation for the ancient Greek letter names: actual sound was of course "y", "i Graeca", but it's close enough, the blending of initial "j" with following "u" produces a reduced "y".

  In BrE, "beta" is pronounced /bi:tə/ ("bee-ta"). In AmE, it's pronounced /beɪtə/ ("bay-ta").
