I wonder about that. Knuth pronounces TeX like "tech" and Kleene pronounced his name like "Clay-knee", but are these wrong or trolls? Are folks who say "liberry" or "nukular" wrong or trolls? There are deep linguistic questions here, and they won't be reached by simply dismissing heterodox pronunciations as wrong.
It may interest you to know that GIF is pronounced "jif", because of the pun that "choosy developers choose GIF" [0][1]. Rather than dismissing you as wrong or a troll, I'd like to acknowledge that your heterodox choices are valid and enrich our language.
