Oh... Then the pronunciation guide from my search engine is saying it the wrong way. I guess so many people have pronounced it incorrectly that now it's kinda acceptable. It's "foyer" all over again. Say it the right way and people just think you're pretentious.
Holy shit yes, it's pronounced shibboleth nowadays - unless you're speaking Hebrew, maybe? I just mean the title is a reference to that story.
