So in language, popular is more right. And that pronunciation sounds awful. I stand by my convictions. Those who say aw-TAW-fuh-jee are silly and pretentious.

Every time he presents, he uses both pronunciations probably 80% of the time he mentions it. Pretty annoying. Pretty good example, too, that there's really no consensus, even among those who study it. There’s a guy in my program who studies autophagy.
