# That's certainly the American pronunciation.
There are a few I wasn't aware of before I came here... lapel, puma, can't think of any others right now...
Oh and there are words like 'acclimatise' which just aren't used here... they say 'acclimate' instead.

# Some say lay pull, with the stress on the first syllable.

# And then there's basil, and vitamin
but I was aware of those already.
If you're here for long enough you're pretty much forced to adopt some of the pronunciations, otherwise shopping and ordering gets to be too much hassle.
