This needs far more upvotes than it has. Maybe people aren't familiar with the correct pronunciation of that letter?

Thanks! I think the correct pronunciation might technically be /ˈfaɪ/ (FYE), but I've heard it pronounced /ˈfi/ (FEE) often enough, I'm not sure.

According to Wikipedia, modern pronunciation agrees with us ("FEE"), but apparently ancient Greeks would have pronounced it "FEY" (or "FEY-EE", I can't quite tell to what degree epsilon-iota was a diphthong).

when I see epsilon-iotas on campus, they tend to be diphthongs.
