Pronounced as "stay"tus or "sta"tus?

All of the people here pronounce it as "stay"tus and I'm the only one pronouncing it as "sta"tus. Sometimes I even pronounce it both ways. Hahaha! I will say "sta"tus then say "stay"tus so they will get it.

Here's a long forum thread on which is the correct pronunciation: STATUS

Dito naman, you can hear how it is pronounced in both UK and US: here

Mr. I Know Everything in English (a.k.a. papable) (note: excluding spelling =P) says that "stay"tus is the 'received pronunciation'.

ewan ko bahala na si batman. we were colonized by the Americans so I have my excuse. hehehe.
