I suspect people say (tek-neek) because they incorrectly think "technic" is
the correct spelling of the word "technique."

Not me.  My first exposure to "Technic" was in the form of
"Technics," pronounced "teck-neeks" by a salesperson at a stereo store.

Wow, another person who pronounces it wrong. :^P

I can't find anything in the dictionary that's spelled "Technic" and
pronounced (tek-neek)

  That's tres chic of you.  8^)
