This was brought up a while back, and we found it is
pronounced differently
based on what part of the country you're in.

Here in the PNW the most common pronouncation is:

ann Act er iss ~ jan

Here in (temporarily cool & dry) Southcentral
TX it's pronounced like it is in the much lovelier
PNW. I.e., what Jan said.
