It's how I hear people pronounce it on television. Of course, these are the same people who say "for better or worst", "a whole 'nother", "irregardless", "and etc.", or even "excetera", and, yeah, well, you get it.

Which pronunciation is correct? Garbij or garbazh (garbage), garaj or gaerazh (garage), vestij or vesteezh (vestige), prestij or presteezh (prestige)?

This is how I pronounce them, and how I hear them pronounced here, but that doesn't mean that's necessarily "correct". The last two I use more of an 'ee' sound.
