You are all crazy, it's clearly spelled Maugimononucleosisgue
I'm sure that's true and all but... no one was talking about how to spell it.
Far-off places with sweet sounding names.

Ice cold. Really, like winter just entered the room. There is frosting on my beard and I can see my breath vapors. I'd take my hat off for you, but if I lift it my ears will freeze.

Guys, guys, guys, you're coming at this all wrong.
The common English pronunciation is moot, since it isn't an English word in the first place.
"Magus" (the singular Latin form) is a word meaning "magician" or "sorcerer." "Magi" is the plural form. The way that they say it in the Japanese is the more correct way (with a hard 'g') if you want to keep with classical Latin.
English has a long history of mangling pronunciation of foreign words. In everyday speech, we pretty much only use the word "magi" to refer to the "three wise men" of the Bible story. Otherwise, we use other terms for magicians.
