How do you pronounce meme?

Still sick. Fluff post. Real post to follow tomorrow. Maybe.

Actually, in my head I usually pronounce it meemee, because that's how I thought it was for a long time. Now I know it's meem, but I can't seem to get rid of the wrong pronunciation. When I say it outloud I usually remember to say meem, though.

I pronounce it "meem" because that's how my Asian-American Lit professor (whose two favorite words were "meme" and "trope") pronounced it. If I've been saying it wrong for the last 14 years, I'm gonna e-mail her and complain. :)

Huh- mim. Which is undoubtedly wrong.

I just say "Mehm" and leave off the last "e."
