The other day a tourist from Israel pronounced 'Galilee' as
'Gah-lil-ee, instead of as 'Gal-ah-lee' as I'd been taught. Assuming that her pronunciation is the one they use, they'd be correct in saying I was doing the same thing as your 'Honn Buy-ne '.

I loved words from an early age- I well remember as a kid spouting- and being laughed at for- FAT ah goo and pictureskew.:)
