The i-pronunciation is commonplace enough that some feminists who want to avoid the word “men” spell “women” as “wimmin”, i.e. the phonetic spelling.
Interesting. I associate the "wimmin" spelling with Terry Pratchett's writing, where it's used in the speech of lower/middle-class men, implying casual/uninformed objectification.
