That's how English people pronounce it, because English lacks the "ch" sound in most dialects.

Greeks pronounce it as "chee", where the "ch" is pronounced more like the Scottish "loch" or the X in "LaTeX". It's not pronounced with a hard 'K'. Still doesn't really work for the "shemale" joke though, but a but closer I suppose.
