This may seem a bit off-topic, but is 'Bayesian' pronounced "Bay-EE-shin", "BAY-zee-an", or "BAY-shin"?
The second is the best. The third has some popularity, but I don't like it because it disguises the morphology. The fellow's name was Bayes; the adjective should thus be Bayes-ian, not Baye-sian.
I say the last except I pronounce the sh a bit like a French J or the 'g' in "mirage". Just like "Cartesian". I've never heard the first. The second I've heard but I don't like as much.
That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't find a way to properly express the sound.
The most common notation for this seems to be "zh" (since it's a voiced "sh").
I've heard all of them, but the second seems to be the most common, followed by the third.
