You don't have a radio button for me. Clearly it used to be ark-tik, but ar-tik is now so common as to have reached acceptability, in the same way that we presumbably used to pronounce the b in subtle but don't any more (Damian was just ranting about that the other day), only that change was a longer time ago and so is no longer questionable.
