Doesn't the announcer of super smash bros say Me-lee? Or at least a cross between the two pronunciations.
It's may-lay though.

IMO, the poll is still valid. <shrug>

I had a friend that called it "Me Lee." I always laughed at him. "What, have you never heard a brawl referenced as an 'all out [May-Lay]' or a reference to a close-combat [May Lay] weapon?"

I know someone who says it "muh lee" and it drives me nuts.

That's how I pronounce it.

Not that it matters much since I never hear/use it in conversation
