I pronounce it "AY-ESS-SEE-EYE-EYE" but I've heard it said "ASS-KIGH" too.

did you know there is actually an ascii shortage? there is a web site somewhere that discusses how since the boom of the internet, the universal supply of ascii has been stretched to the limit

ass-key is the standard. Always has been. Always will be. Saying it any other way in a professional setting will get you laughed at.
