That makes sense based on where in the US people pronounce the term that way. Basically in the pockets of the US where the language hasn't evolved as much, like New England, and the other maritime regions of the mid to north atlantic.

"Al-yu-min-ee-um" I can live with, however unlikely it might be orthogaphically. But "fill-et" with the "t" pronounced and the stress on "fill" makes my back creep every time.
Listening to the SO pronounce the word "goober" is just adorable.
It gets a lot of use in our house for this reason.
Oh, and I'm a complete convert to "baah-ziil" rather than "bay-sul." I won't go back! I can't go back!

Jeez, I start a thread, leave it alone for two minutes and it goes bloody Nova.
Yeah, the fiance and I were in fits at 'boo-ee'... especially when they even used that pronouciation for 'buoyed up'....... hah! 'boo-eed up' <snigger>
Anyway, cats firmly amongst the pigeons, I leave you...
also... it's pate with the emphasis on the 'e' (as indicated by the accent I can;t figure out how to insert), theatre, thee-ah-tuh and route, root, not rout, which is a carpentry term...

but it has a double 'L'... if it had a single 'L' you could pronounce it the french way with the emphasis on the second syllable and no 't'...
but well done on the bah-sil. Now... how do you say 'herbs'?

I stick with the French. It was theirs to start with, after all.
I think at the moment that I wander aimlessly between the two main options. But I should warn you that this adjustment business cuts both ways - the SO always says "a-loo-min-um."

mmhmm, but that doesn;t stop you murdering the English language and it was ours to start with...
Seriously, why use French pronounciation when not speaking French, it's just weird... you don;t all say 'otel, do you?

I quite enjoy amusing myself with the difference in the langauges, but if you persist in attaching valuations to the vagaries of pronunciation, the joy will stale.

Same first syllable as "Berkshire Hunt."
We're still trying to determine if supplying the SO's employer with a framed copy of the picture so titled will be seen too obviously for what it is.

No, no, no.....roooot is a part of a plant that grows underground most of the time; R-ow-t is a path that one takes or part of a postal address or getting one's ass kicked; not to be confused with R-owt-er which is a carpenters tool, and not to be confused with root-er which is a fan a southern football game; and not to be confused with rut, which is what I am in, or the southern pronunciation of the the singular roots.
