I'm pretty sure the mispronunciation is due to the erstwhile fast food sandwich of the same name. The Mac had to be pronounced Mac because it referred to Macdonalds. The Lean had to be pronounced Leen to signify the low fat patty. Have you no appreciation for the cultural implications of finer cuisine? I am disappointed in your lack of culture (that's pronounced cultcha BTW).
