Idiots!!!!

Please, please, please help me prove that the people I work with are morons.

All but one of the people I work with are adamant that the pronunciation of Halley's comet is Hailies.
Even after downloading & printing a web page that gave the pronunciation as Hal-lee to take to work they could not be convinced, arguing that the pronunciation differs from country to country.
I need someone with some credentials ( or at least 100 people without ) to be able to give me concrete proof that it is pronounced Halley ( Hal-lee ) the world over.
Although, I fear even if I get a qualified answer from the leading aussie astrophysicist these deadbeats will argue that the entire astronomy community in Australia is wrong.
Please help me before I kill these wankers.
