Default Alter ego

How do you pronounce alter ego?
Up until about 10 years ago I said the first word exactly the same as the
English word 'alter'.
Now I say alter as in German - but am I being pretentious?

Work like the ponies in coalmines.
Dance like the teardrop explodes.
Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.
Sing as though your little throat would burst.
