100% of these people pronounced it BAHL thee AY. I said to them, "What would you say if I told you the correct pronunciation was bahl THEER?"
They were all surprised. Some more than others, but the general consensus was that it should be pronounced BAHL thee AY.
So, yeah. I'm going to have to say, due to my straw poll, that the incorrect pronunciation sounds better.
