I don't know why this is driving me crazy but it is. I keep hearing the term Umbilicus pronounced two different ways. I would like to learn the proper way to say it or most commonly used way of saying it, or are both ways acceptable? Thank you!
My assessment professor says it almost as if it two separate words and pronounces the second i as "eye":
Um-BILL..Eye-cus
