Why does the word dilemma have two pronunciations?

by RyleyRushh » Mon Sep 24, 2018 2:47 am
According to Oxford Dictionary (https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/defin ... sh/dilemma) Pronunciation is : /dɪˈlɛmə, dʌɪ-/

Which is di-lema or dye-lema.

The website "howjsay" (https://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=dilemma) also gives two pronunciations.

Which one is correct for US?
