I have what I feel is a more simple, and therefore possibly dumb question:
I work in broadcast news and am around many people who say Iraq often, but many I feel aren't saying it correctly. I was in grade school during the early 2000s, but I remember everyone would say Iraq as "eye-RACK". In today's world I hear more and more people saying it as "EE-rok". Only a handful of anchors I know will say it with the "ee". It makes me cringe and feel as if they're ignorant if they say it with the "eye" sound.
So I'm wondering how you specifically would pronounce it, and if it gets to you that people may pronounce it wrong?
