Well, you're not alone. I asked Jeremy that exact question. (I felt like a goober.. here I do his webpage and I didn't know how to pronounce his last name) His response was "It is pronounced 'licked', and yes I did get teased a lot in school". That was paraphrased because I asked him this a couple of weeks ago. Hope that helps.
