I can’t wait to see how many people on here start using the 'K' version when they never, ever did before. Ha! It’s funny. I personally don’t take offense in learning something new.
If I had a doctorate in the field and I knew nothing at all about this pronunciation, I might feel a little stupid, but who the heck cares in the end about semantics. I do not think the guy who wrote the article was being aloof or condescending either. He was trying to teach and also trying to keep people who should know better from embarrassing themselves.
No biggie.
