How Do You Say It?

I've heard the pronunciations VEE-gən, VAY-gən and VAY-jən. I think they are all acceptable. The last makes the most sense, because the g in vegetable is soft, but I like the one that sounds like someone from the Vega star system. I suppose after I quit this, I can be a lost vegan, too. I could move to Nevada and then go wandering around without a map and be a lost vagrant Las Vegan lost vegan. But it wouldn't be worth it.

Apparently the word is supposed to be derived from being the beginning and end of a vegetarian diet.
