How do you personally pronounce 'Asperger'?

I always pronounce it with a soft G, like as-per-jers, even though English-speaking Canadians are supposed to pronounce it with a hard G. Canadians say quite a few words differently than Americans so why not?

Except for "about", which we don't pronounce as a-boot. It makes my blood boil when people elsewhere think we do.

You won't have seen the South Park movie then, where it's a long running in-joke.

And actually, after over 30 years of watching WWE, I've noticed that SOME Canadian wrestlers do indeed say "aboot", including the late Chris Benoit (committed suicide after killing his wife and child just over 11 years ago).
 
I talk to Canadian customers in my job. Some indeed do say "aboot."
