Bless you, my chile! You have born witness to the acceptability of dye-sect and this is the same as vye-brato, both of which my third wife used to beat me down as a simple-minded lowbrow hick, when, in fact, those pronunciations do appear at least in the American Standard (and energetic you have apparently looked further, or farther, even).

Marry me!
