Glossary: How do you pronounce "Muay Thai?"

All, right. This is one of those things that always gets me. You'll get a bunch of martial artists in a room and sooner or later one of them will say, "you people been saying it wrong all this time. It's not Muy Thai like you're ordering lots of it a Mexican restaurant, it's mwai thai like you're...you know...mwaing."

Then some other nerd will say, "but I once took a seminar with Master Chai and I swear he said..."

And on and on. And this will go on for hours. And be continued at the next party. And despite the hours of training they each put in, perfecting their technique, getting the advice of their training partners and coaches, these nerds will go on for years arguing over the pronunciation. Yet they will never think to call and ask the local Thai restaurant. 

For those of you who are too scared to call up the local Thai ("tie" not "thigh") restaurant: here's what Thai-language.com has to say about Muy Thai...er, Mwai, uh, Mooye, I mean มวยไทย.
