If everyone knows what you are talking about then it doesn't matter how you say it.  As with botanical nomenclature - latin is a dead language, you get to say it most anyway you like.   In this case it is a fabricated language with a one word vocabulary.  Like the pronunciation of Esperanto (and really any language) it is ultimately arbitrary and changable with time and useage.  I might pronounce it oh-tee.  ;-)

Is the pronunciation "dee-a" or "die-a"?

     

How do you pronounce dia-gram? :)
   

I pronounce it di-a-gram (instead of dee-a-gram).
A co-worker pronounces it dee-a.
He pronounces di-a-gram.
 

I vote for dee-a
