Most everyone pronounces with a mostly silent y, not the exaggerated one this ai voice uses. Guess you are just wanting to make assumptions and diss Oklahomans. Because you didn’t know how to pronounce it doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t. Good try though.

It is not like English is set in stone or even has an equivalent to Académie Française; which has a role in usages, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language.
People can pronounce words differently without it being wrong, plus naturally varies by different dialects of English.
An individual can have a claim on how their name is pronounced, but even the same spelling of names can have multiple pronunciations.

I am pretty sure everyone pronounces it Fen-Ten-Nall?

I've seen several documentaries that pronounce it -NALL vs. -NILL.

Oxford, Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com are all consistent in their pronunciation guides and examples. Fen-te-nil.

I hope I've been pronouncing it right in court when describing people who died of fen-te-nil overdoses.

That's what I was thinking. When Reddit threads get started on here you know it's slow.
