Many people love to write it as Vijnan and pronounce it as विज्नान which sounds very different from Sanskrit original विज्ञान - among such people there are plenty of so-called leaned who can rattle out Sanskrit Shloks by memorizing them - these people are responsible for corrupting the unmatched phonetic integrity of Sanskrit - it's pity that such people are called learned in Sanskrit who have been actively destroying the phonetic integrity of our heritage language - it is also pity that many other learned fools who know the difference, but do not care, because they are all like sheep who move in herds
