I have always pronounced the word "Fascia" with a short "a" as in "fast" or "fabulous." I have noticed a lot of people lately correcting me with a long "a" as in "face" or "fatal." So- I googled it and found a number of YouTube videos showing the proper pronunciation of the word. Problem solved, right? Well- not so fast. One said it with a short "a" and almost silent "i". Another used the short "a" but pronounced the "i" with an "e" like this: Fah-see-ah. Another yet pronounced the long a but silent i, and another with the long a and accentuating the i.

So- how the heck do you pronounce this word?
