Cecil, I will say this.
When it comes to one language taking words from another there is no objective right or wrong way of pronouncing something, the "Correct" pronounciation is what most people agree it is, ie, it is subjective.
It can't be correct in that 1+1=2, it's correct in that the majority of people agree that that's how you say something.
So the fact that 90% of english speakers pronounce it with a "sh" means that yeah, that's considered the "correct" english pronounciation, and the fact that 90% of Italians pronounce it with a "K" sound, means that's the "correct" pronouciation in Italian.

So sure, we can all agree on the original Italian pronounciation while still agreeing that the guy who insists that the way 90% of people pronounce it in English, is wrong, kind of sounds like a smug ###### bag.
