Let's settle this once and for all: How do you pronounce "Gyro"? (Sandwhich)

Asked by NYstateOfMind88 (76points) December 17th, 2008

I always used to think I was pronouncing it correctly by saying “hee-ro” and enjoyed correcting my oh-so-less cultured friends who pronounced it as “jie-ro”. But I had my mind blown today when a middle eastern man in front of me in line ordered a “jie-ro” (like the spinning motion).

So which is it?
