Fith??????

So I was reading this article, and apparently, according to Merriam-Webster, the most correct pronunciation of the word "fifth" is "fith" .
WTF?? I have ALWAYS pronounced that second f. Am I looney?
What about y'all?

Every person has a unique connection to the Creator that can never be extinguished, and every person has a great soul that can manifest important things in our world. To make a person feel less than they are because of something inside themselves, be it faith, race, or sexual orientation, is the greatest sin of all."
From Smithsonian magazine:
"“The people who use the ax pronunciation are using the pronunciation that has been handed down, in an unbroken form, for a thousand years,” says Jesse Shiedlower from the American Dialect Society to NPR.
"Scissors" is another word that got changed along the way. It was originally spelled without the "c" and some knucklehead added it in there and it stuck.
