Totally acceptable pronunciation, how Alain de Botton says it, a sure sign of pseudo-intellectual is to criticize an infliction as sign of intelligence. I work at a bookstore and sometimes most voracious readers pronounce things poorly bc they actually read, don't watch pretentious films to appear well-read

Do you have the clip? Jimmy's usually very honest about his lack of a formal education so I'm never offended when he tries to sound educated.

I've never heard it pronounced that way in an academic setting.

Post a link showing Alain de Botton or any other person with more than a 101 pronouncing it that way.

Did you mean to write inflection, or is it some sorta meta-joke?

I don't know how it's pronounced. I read Heidegger because I'm not a teenage girl.

It's pronounced, Neechuh. This is the easiest way to spot an intellectual poser.

and people that make it a point to pronounce it right is the easiest way to spot a pretentious homo.

No, people that pronounce it right, have been educated to do so. The pretentious ones are those that would bring him up in the first place.
