Hilariously, Merriam-Webster is doing "minutiae" dirty, cuz that's not how it should be pronounced. I make allowances for the anglicization/americanization of Latin words, because needs must. But that "-ae" at the end is a dipthong that's pronounced like the long "I" in idea or idol.
So more like the "UK" pronunciation here.

Yeah, I'm being pedantic. But also, that other one is just WRONG and deeply unpleasant and nobody should get contaminated with that.
