    To me it is. But pronounciations differ from people to people.

    I use the "ir" because my LFS does as well. If I don't talk like them, they don't know what I am referring to! We might need to get a book on pronounciation of latin.

    Local use may differ, but the Columbia dictionary defines the second "i" as a "u"-like sound such as the "i" in "easily" or the "o" in "cannon." "Sir" is plenty close enough, I think.
